Heritage & History
Irwin Tools traces its roots to 1885, when Charles Irwin founded a hand tool manufacturing company that would grow into one of the most recognized names in American tool manufacturing. The company's tools — particularly its SPEEDBOR auger bits and MARATHON saw blades — became standard references in American woodworking and construction.
The brand's North Carolina manufacturing base reflects the state's long tradition as a center of American tool and furniture manufacturing. Huntersville, outside Charlotte, is part of the broader Piedmont manufacturing corridor that has been a pillar of American industrial production for over a century.
