Westward Tools




The Westward brand has been used since 1963 by Acklands Limited Industrial Division for tools imported into the Canadian marketplace.  According to the company website, The brand replaced factory names such as Lobster, Gorilla and Tone and is applied to  "high quality, value priced alternatives to national brands."  But by the wrench below, they sourced at least some of the tools domestically. In 1998, the brand expanded to the US, and to Europe in 2010 and is still going strong.
