Overview

Since 1919, Cornwell Tools has been the gold standard in the hand tools industry. We have built our reputation on the fact that we make our tools the old fashioned way — one wrench at a time. Sure there are other companies that sell tools, they're even bigger than us. What sets us apart from everybody is that we're employee owned. Every employee is part-owner of the company. We all have a stake in the success of your business. None of the others guys can say that. They may talk about team work, but at the end of the day they have to answer to their shareholders and make sure they are building shareholder equity. Not at Cornwell. We only have to answer to ourselves. The question we ask ourselves at the end of the day? Have we done the very best for our Dealers?

You become part of the Cornwell Team when you become a Cornwell Tools Dealer. Cornwell Tools is owned in part by its employees, who are partners dedicated to two objectives:

Producing the highest quality hand tools available.
Supporting their Franchised Dealers in the business of selling those tools.

We stand ready to react rapidly to the needs of our only customer... The Cornwell Dealer!
Connect with a Field Management Team that has hundreds of combined years of experience in the mobile tool business
Enjoy the relationship possible with a privately held company rather than dealing with a division of some large conglomerate
Share the integrity of an established company having the reputation of age, quality and image
Be part of a focused company mission of continued Dealer success
Opportunity is offered to those who qualify and desire to join a management team
