Klein Tools Tape Measure

Klein Tools is a legendary American brand that has been a staple in the tool belts of professional electricians and tradespeople since the mid-19th century. Founded in Chicago, Illinois, the company originally gained fame for its high-quality pliers and has since expanded into a comprehensive range of hand tools, including tape measures, screwdrivers, and electrical testers.

While the company is famous for its 'Made in the USA' heritage and continues to manufacture many of its core products in American facilities, its broader catalog, including certain specialized measuring tools, is produced through a global supply chain. This involves manufacturing and assembly across multiple countries to meet international demand while maintaining the brand's strict quality standards.

Ownership of the brand remains a point of pride for the company, as it continues to be family-owned and operated. Now managed by the sixth generation of the Klein family, the company maintains its headquarters in Lincolnshire, Illinois, preserving its status as one of the few major American tool manufacturers that has not been acquired by a large multinational industrial conglomerate.
