Cal-Van - Allstart Electrical, Charging and Starting

Two Trusted Names, One Complete Automotive Solution

Cal-Van Tools and Allstart represent two complementary sides of the same coin — and together, under the umbrella of Horizon Tool, Inc., they form one of the most well-rounded brands in the automotive tools and portable power market. Whether you are a seasoned professional technician or a committed do-it-yourselfer, this dual-brand lineup covers everything from precision specialty tools to cutting-edge portable power solutions.

Cal-Van Tools: Nearly a Century of Specialty Tool Innovation

Cal-Van Tools has been at the forefront of automotive specialty tool design and manufacturing for nearly a century. The brand's mission has always been straightforward: make tough jobs easier and faster, helping technicians save time and increase profitability. Cal-Van products are engineered and manufactured to the highest standards of quality, and most tools are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing and materials defects.

Cal-Van's catalog spans a wide range of professional-grade instruments, pullers, installers, and hand tools built specifically for the demands of the modern shop. For technicians who need to see into tight, hard-to-reach spaces, Cal-Van's Inspection Camera lineup brings visibility where the naked eye cannot reach. When it comes to precision engine work, the brand's Engine Crankshaft Rear Seal Installation Tools are purpose-built to get the job done right the first time — without damaging critical seals or surrounding components. Rounding out the hand tool side of the lineup, Cal-Van offers practical everyday essentials like Socket Sets and Wrenches that hold up to professional daily use.

Allstart: Powerful, Portable Peace of Mind

The Allstart brand takes a different but equally essential approach to the shop and the road. Allstart provides some of the most powerful and safest lithium-powered jump starters and power banks available, designed for anyone who cannot afford to be stranded. The flagship BOOST and BOOST-MAX product lines feature ultra-rugged construction, quick-charge capability, wireless charging docks, and proprietary Intelli-Clamp and Intelli-Cable systems with built-in safety features such as anti-spark protection, reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and automatic shutdown. The result is a jump starter that even a first-timer can use safely and confidently.

Allstart's portable units are compact enough to toss in a glovebox yet powerful enough to start trucks, cars, boats, ATVs, and motorcycles. Allstart also sells products in the Vehicle Battery category, bridging the gap between everyday battery maintenance needs and the brand's core portable power expertise.

Built for Professionals, Trusted by Everyone

What sets Cal-Van and Allstart apart is not just the breadth of their product range — it is their shared commitment to innovation and quality backed by a global manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure. Cal-Van products can be found throughout the automotive, industrial, and hand tool markets worldwide, while Allstart continues to push the boundaries of portable power technology. Together, they deliver reliable solutions for the technician at a dealership, the weekend mechanic, and the outdoor adventurer alike.
