Through the decades, further expansion of the line to address the ever-evolving needs of their clients has resulted in a more comprehensive product line. Airetool enjoys strong customer brand loyalty both domestically and abroad. EGI’s acquisition of the line, starting in 2017, has given us an opportunity to become part of the Airetool story. EGI is fully committed to stewardship, maintaining a long tradition of manufacturing high-quality American tools using time-tested methods and procedures, and always focused on quality.Vernon Parallel Pin
