Now known as Lobtex, the firm was founded in 1888 to produce hair clippers.  In 1923 it was incorporated as the Nippon Riki Kabushikikaisha (or the Lobster Tool Co. Ltd. in English).  In 1928 they moved into wrenches and pliers, and six years later introduced drop forging to Japan.  In 1967, they began to focus on riveting tools (and two years later the company president was awarded the Fourth Class Order of the Sacred Treasure!)
