I learn something new everyday here! I always wondered what happened to Danaher Tool's J.S.Technology Inc.tool maker in Alpharetta Georgia. J.S. Technology was one of the 5 major U.S. manufacturers of torque wrenches back in the day. J.S. Technology made the old U.S. Craftsman torque wrenches as well as torque wrenches for KD, SK, Armstrong, NAPA, MATCO, ATD, Gearwrench, and a few others.
eTORK is a spinoff of J.S. Technology when that company was taken over by (I think) Apex:
From the etork site:
"eTORK wrenches have been designed and developed by founder and CEO, Jan S. Stasiek. Jan has over 40 years of proven and successful experience in the field of torque technology.......As the Owner and CEO of JS Technology, Jan supplied tools to some of the largest national tool brands. During the nineties, over 50% of torque wrenches sold in the US were designed, developed and manufactured by JS Technology. After JS Technology was sold to a major national corporation, Jan provided expertise and experience to help establish manufacturing facilities in China. Facilities which now produce eTORK wrenches. eTORK wrenches are distributed and serviced nationwide from its location in Roswell, Georgia"
If Mr. Stasiek applied his know-how and quality control to his Chinese made etork wrenches, they are indeed a very good value wrench. Priced about $60 +/-, they seem to be at the perfect price point to value for those who don't wrench professionally. Cool. Thanks for bringing up the etork topic.
