From its founding in the early part of the 20th century,
Blackhawk Manufacturing developed into one of the top producers of mechanic's tools,
and its products were widely respected for their quality of design and production. 
Blackhawk's rapid innovation in the late 1920s and 1930s helped set the pace of 
development for the rest of the tool industry.

Blackhawk Manufacturing of Milwaukee, Wisconsin was founded in 1919 as a subsidiary
of the American Grinder Company.
Its early products were automotive tools including sockets and wrenches,
similar to those produced by Walden-Worcester and Mossberg,
the leading companies at the time.

From the mid 1920s through the 1940s Blackhawk entered a period of tremendous innovation,
lead by their engineers Edward Pfauser, Sigmund Mandl, and others.
Numerous patents were issued for wrench and ratchet designs,
socket locking devices,
and even hydraulic cylinders and couplers.
