The Spanner & Wrench Collector Issue 19 - February 2015 - Page 1 THE DOWIDAT STORY – Dowidat shifter wrenches By Ron Waterhouse, restorer at the Tractor Museum of WA, Whiteman Park In 1919 three German brothers, Karl, Willi and Otto Dowidat, founded a small toolmaking business in the town of Reimscheild in Germany. When looking for a name for their products they settled on the name Gedore. This was a combo name representing “Ge” – brother, “Do” – Dowidat and ”Re” Reimscheild. Initially they concentrated on making shifting wrenches, later adding other wrenches until they found that the premises they were in were not large enough to cope with the expanding range of tools. The factory then moved to larger premises where the Gedore company remains today, being the company’s headquarters. In 1933 Karl Dowidat passed away and the remaining two brothers kept the business going. In 1949 the brothers decided to go their own ways. Otto kept the Gedore brand ofthe tool empire, while Willi founded a new company and called it Dowidat. The Gedore company flourished and set up branches in South America and South Africa and by 1972 had branches in many more countries. The Dowidat company merged with Belzer to become Belzer– Dowidat. Afew years later the Bacho tool company bought out BelzerDowidat ending any relationship with Dowidat. Karl, son of Otto, whopassed away in 1975, and Karen Dowidat, his grand daughter, succeeded in wresting back the Dowidat company establishment lost by Willi in the preceding years. The Dowidat Company set up branches in many countries including the American and African continents, Asia and Australia. This is a reason you can see Dowidat tools with “Made in Australia” stamped on them. The “Made in Germany” Dowidat shifting wrenches have long been regarded as being Shown are the RH knurled # 91's, the LH knurled #73's and among the best in the world. Car maker the elusive #72 maxi wrench above. I have recently obtained Mercedes Benz tool kits have traditionally been a 15" #73 in a swap, with the #73 8" still to go. German Dowidat for many years due to the quality of the various tools involved. Dowidat shifter collectors concentrate on the # 91 and #73 shifters. They must have been “Made in Germany” to qualify for value. The #91 shifters have traditionally been the prime collector target. However there has been an increasing number of #73 shifters being sought – but much harder to find. The #91 and #73 shifters are made in sizes including 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 15”, and 18”. The prime difference between the two sets are that the #73 have left hand knurls while the #91 have the traditional right hand knurls. Another obvious difference is that the # 73 shifters are regarded as “slimline” shifters similar to the chrome slim shifters, while the #91 are a heavy duty shifter. Both series are made from the same drop forged steel that has stood the test oftime so well. There is another series ofDowidat shifters that has surfaced, but I have not found any other than the #72 26” as yet. The #72 set ranges from 6” to 26”.and includes all the other series sizes, plus 26”, except for the 4” which is shown in the catalogue as a #73. (See Fig 3.) These shifters have a similar profile to the #73's being slim line with the handles being parallel, instead oftapered like the #91. I have yet to set eyes on any other #72's except fora 26” that was given to me and one I bought. They must be around, so I am hopeful one day to see more of that series. Other series ofDowidat wrenches are the Chrome plated # 88 in sizes 4” to 12” ( the latter often seen as “Made in Australia’). The versions of the wrenches produced centred on those with all over gun metal finish and those with polished bright ground surfaces. To cap off the series there are the very rare #92 polished version of the double ended wrenches. These include sizes 4”- 6”, 6”- 8”, 8” - 10” and 10” - 12”. I have come across other double ended shifters, but not Dowidat ones.’’ The Spanner & Wrench Collector Issue 19 - February 2015 - Page 2 THE DOWIDAT STORY – Dowidat shifter wrenches [contd] Some time back I bid on a 10” #73 wrench. It was advertised as being brand new, made in Germany and the seller was located in Thailand. When the shifter arrived I found that it had subtle differences to the genuine German models. The variations included a heavier handle section, the jaws do not open quite as far and the knurl differs in that the screw is square cut on both sides as against the genuine knurl which has a taper on the return side ofthe screw. It was overall quite a good copy – but again just that - a copy!! I queried it with the seller who immediately replied and said he vowed he would improve his workmanship, apologised profusely, refunded the purchase and freight charges and insisted I keep the wrench. – how could I refuse?? Values of Dowidat shifters have varied considerably over recent years. I was out bid on a top of the range #73 15” shifter– I went to around $72 for it, but a number more bids resulted in a sale price well in excess of$80. – the eBay maxi bid took me by surprise!! The mostI have paid fora Dowidat was $81.50 for a good 18” #91. Then again I picked up a nice 6” #73 for$12 and a 10” #73 in the UKfor$10AUD –a mate brought it out for me. For the 12” and up sizes I estimate an average cost at around $45 – but freight boosts this by around $15. The smaller wrenches work out at about $25 plus freight. I have collected a number of shifters now that are surplus to my needs to complete the #91 and #73 sets. This came about by having to bid on more than one at a time when multiple shifters were offered during an auction. I will put these on eBay auction in due course. I am still on the lookout fora #73 8” shifter to complete my #73 set. Then I can rest my search. © 11/2014 Ron Waterhouse [email protected]. Editor Fig. 3 is a page extracted from a 1958 Dowidat catalogue A catalogue by Gedore from about the same period shows their #72 range from 4 to 26inch and the dies look the same as the Dowidat #72, and are described as Swedish pattern. Indeed both of the #72 patterns look remarkably like Bahco shifters, so perhaps that lot were outsourced to Bahco. If anyone can help Ron with his search for a 8 inch #73 pattern or any of the #72 range bar the 26inch, please make contact to either the Editor or Ron himself. Fig. 3. A page extracted from a 1958 Dowidat catalogue The Spanner& Wrench CollectorIssue 19 - February 2015 - Page 3 W. H. Verity & Sons. by John Hawking (m) William H. Verity established the W. H. Verity & Sons foundry in Francestown, Ontario, Canada in 1857. He entered a partnership with a Mr Bradson, but soon purchased his interest and changed the name to W. H. Verity & Sons Foundry. The company produced plows, stoves, straw cutters and saws. The company moved to Exeter, Ontario in 1870 and then to Brantford, Ontario in 1892. In this year the company’s name changed to the Verity Plow Co. Ltd and 40 percent of the company was sold to Massey-Harris. In 1896 Massey-Harris purchased the remaining shares in the company. The company suffered a major setback in 1897 when a fire destroyed much of the factory however the company recovered and expanded. In 1914 Massey-Harris took over running the company. Verity agricultural machinery was supplied with a range of tools and some have become very collectable. Only four types of Verity spanners are known to have the Verity name marked, whereas most spanners just have the Verity part number embossed (and in one case impressed). The part numbers are prefixed by the letter “P”. Fifteen agricultural spanners are known to be issued by Verity, however currently only 11 are known from Australia. Of the four spanners marked Verity, the largest is the 17 inch double end plough spanner with a hammerhead. It has Verity embossed on the shaft and the part number P2338 on the reverse (Fig.

  • Stanley Black and Decker Techtronic Industries Co Ltd (TTI) Chevron
    Who Owns What? Andrew Davis May, 2019 This is a redacted version of an article II found on protoolreviews.com. I remember growing up when General Motors offered different brands at different price points (until they all the brands started to overlap before GM collapsed) – Cadillac at the top end, followed by Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and Chevy. We have a similar situation in woodworking tools (also in kitchen appliances) except that in the case of tools, the multi-brand company is more often a case of acquisitions rather than organic development. Anyway, for those readers interested in the business side of tools, this column, which is a departure from my usual thread, may be of interest. Stanley Black and Decker Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) turned heads when it bought Craftsman Tools in 2017 after Sears closed 235 stores in 2015. Dating back to 1843 with a man named Frederick Stanley, the company merged in 2010 with Black and Decker. As of 2017, the company maintains a $7.5 billion business in tools & storage alone. SBD brands include: DeWalt Stanley Black + Decker Bostitch Craftsman Vidmar Mac Tools Irwin Lenox Proto Porter-Cable Powers Fasteners Lista Sidchrome Emglo USAG Techtronic Industries Co Ltd (TTI) TTI owns Milwaukee Tool and a host of other power tool companies. It also licenses the RIDGID and RYOBI names for cordless power tools (Emerson actually owns RIDGID and makes the red tools). Founded in 1985 in Hong Kong, TTI sells tools all over the world and employs over 22,000 people. TTI had worldwide annual sales of over US$6 billion in 2017.
