Chapman Manufacturing has built its midget ratchet and milled insert-bit screwdriver kits in Durham, Connecticut since 1936. The tools are made, hand-assembled and inspected in the same Durham shop from domestic materials, and the company frames its sourcing as deliberately keeping local machine shops, fabricators and metal finishers in work.

“The company has been at the same Durham Connecticut location since about 1965, which is just around the corner from the garage where the company began making tools. I was fortunate to recently have had the privilege of touring the Chapman Manufacturing facility.”

Local press counted the staff working the steel inside the Durham plant
“Inside the often unnoticed, nondescript company building, Tracy and 13 Chapman employees tinker and toil alongside machines that turn sheets and rods of raw steel into the company's durable, precision tools.”
