COOPER® develops and distributes professional grade hand tools and power tool accessories to tradesmen and craftsmen around the world who require high performance tools at competitive prices. COOPER dates back over a century to 1886 when Clarence Frederick Cooper was born in Wallingford, Connecticut, U.S.A.. Clarence was a handyman for many years and spent his later life working at a tool factory. He had a keen sense of quality and a high work ethic. His passion for quality tools was carried on by three succeeding generations who also worked in the tool industry, the most recent being C.F.’s great-grandson, Dan Cooper, who currently manages the C.F. COOPER’s brand portfolio includes an ever-expanding range of SIMONDS® cutting tools, C.H. HANSON® hand tools, and MEGAPRO® fastening tools. For well over a century, both SIMONDS and C.H. HANSON have been innovators in their respective business segments and continue to build upon their success through an expanding range of tools for professionals who make their living like C.F. Cooper, working with good hand tools. As well, the MEGAPRO brand has been rapidly expanding its fastening tool line from the success of its patented cartridge type multi-bit screwdrivers. Whether it was in 1832 when Abel Simonds developed scythe blades for paper mills, or 1866 when Charles Hanson developed metal stamps for factories, or 1994 when Hermann Fruhm developed the first cartridge type multi-bit screwdriver, the passion for developing quality & innovative tools has been at the heart of our business. Our success is the result of our never-ending commitment to develop & provide high quality tools for professionals with innovative features that are fairly priced.
