Armaloy was a trademark introduced by the Armstrong Bros. Tool Company of Chicago in 1946 for their new chrome-vanadium steel alloy and so their new premium line of hand tools. The brand was known for its high quality tools.
The Armstrong brothers had opened up in 1890 as a manufacturer of bicycle parts and wrenches. In 1895 they introduced a toolholder for the lathe which was a commercial success, allowing them to build a new factory. In 1909, they started manufacturing wrenches.
The company was acquired by Danaher in 1994- which became part of the Apex Tool group in 2010.
