A Legacy of American Craftsmanship
Few tool brands can claim a history as rich and resilient as C.H. Hanson. Founded on February 21, 1866, by Danish immigrant Christian Henry Hanson, the company began as a hand-cut stencil operation on Clark and South Water Street in Chicago. When the Great Chicago Fire leveled the building just six years later, Christian rebuilt from scratch — a defining act of determination that still shapes the company's identity today. Now in its fourth and fifth generations of family ownership, C.H. Hanson has grown from a stencil shop into a respected manufacturer of hand tools, marking devices, layout instruments, and clamping equipment trusted across the construction, metalworking, and industrial trades.
Tools Built for the Trades
Over more than 150 years, C.H. Hanson has expanded its catalog far beyond its stencil-cutting roots. Today, the brand is recognized as a manufacturer of marking and identification products, carpenter's tools, flagging tape, steel stamps, and — critically — a comprehensive range of gripping and clamping tools. The brand's Pliers lineup is particularly well regarded among professionals, featuring the innovative Automatic locking pliers series. These tools use a patented self-adjusting locking mechanism that quickly locks onto objects of any size without the need to manually turn a knob, delivering speed and grip strength that traditional locking pliers simply can't match.
Equally capable in the shop or on the job site, C.H. Hanson's C-Clamps round out the clamping lineup. From compact locking C-clamps to heavy-duty welding and chain clamps, the range covers a wide variety of workholding applications — whether you're securing metal for welding, assembling woodwork, or holding components in place during fabrication.
Innovation With Staying Power
C.H. Hanson has a track record of acquiring and revitalizing strong tool brands. In 2013, the company brought Palmgren Machinery into the fold — a brand whose founder Clarence Palmgren is credited with designing some of the first machine vises used in metalworking worldwide. In 2020, C.H. Hanson added Superior Tool, a Cleveland-based manufacturer known for professional-quality plumbing tools. Together, these brands give C.H. Hanson a catalog of over 5,800 SKUs spanning hand tools, marking devices, workholding equipment, and plumbing tools.
Despite the company's considerable growth, it has never lost its family-owned character. The Hanson family answers phones directly, backs products with strong warranties, and remains committed to providing the kind of personalized customer service that large corporations rarely match. Whether you're a contractor, a fabricator, or a serious DIYer, C.H. Hanson delivers tools built to last — "Tools for Generations™" is more than a slogan; it's a 150-year promise.
