History:
--------
In 1885, Charles Irwin patented the Auger bit and, along with
four business partners, formed the IRWIN Auger Bit Company in
Ohio, USA. Over 125 years later, IRWIN is still the leading
manufacturer of wood drilling bits and accessories. No matter
what wood drilling project you face, IRWIN Tools makes a drill
bit that performs the job better. Our mark of quality is stamped
right on the shank of our full range of bits. Whether the job
requires quick, clean holes or precise finish work, IRWIN has a
bit for every application and every need. IRWIN Blue Groove wood
boring bits raise-the-bar on tool quality and performance. Its
cutting edge technology incorporates true "cutting edges" that
glide through the wood versus scraping its way through.
Professionals can now improve their productivity and accuracy
with IRWIN's innovative ranges. The latest generation Blue Groove
Power is adding extreme durability thanks to Bi-Metal Technology.
IRWIN Tools:
------------
IRWIN Tools has a long and storied history, stretching for more
than a century and set against the backdrop of a young, ambitious
nation. In 1885, Charles Irwin patented the Auger bit and, along
with four business partners, formed the IRWIN Auger Bit Company.
In 1924, William Petersen, a Danish immigrant, invented and
patented VISE-GRIP Locking Pliers. Through innovation and a
series of acquisitions, these two companies have now become IRWIN
Tools. IRWIN Tools manufactures and distributes a broad line of
hand tools and power tool accessories including JACK handsaws,
RECORD clamping and locking tools, VISE-GRIP pliers and wrenches,
JORAN drill bits, QUICK-GRIP clamping tools, MARPLES chisels and
woodworking tools, and UNIBIT drill bits. Innovation is the
hallmark of IRWIN. For more than 100 years, it's been an idea
that has permeated the culture of our company and it continues to
drive everything we do. Beginning in 1885 with development of the
first IRWIN Auger bit and progressing with the introduction of
Vise-Grip locking tools, Blue Groove flat bits and Quick-Grip bar
clamps, IRWIN has been at the forefront of the industry, creating
better tools in a better way. Our impressive track record of new
product development is born from our passion for understanding
the needs of our primary user -- the professional tradesman. This
dedication to improving products begins in the field, where
IRWIN's speed end-user teams visit construction sites.
There, the IRWIN Field Product Spet team learns first-hand
-- from the professional -- how to improve our products, and how
to make the pro's job easier and more productive. This
hard-earned knowledge is the foundation for a unique product
development process utilised by IRWIN's engineering, marketing
and manufacturing teams to deliver a continuous stream of new
products to the marketplace. Supported by a global network of
quality manufacturing facilities and bolstered by our
partnerships with leading global retailers, IRWIN continuously
sets the professional standard in each and every market segment
in which we compete. From product feedback and development to
distribution and use in the field, we dedicate ourselves to
delivering quality tools that meet the stringent requirements of
our toughest critics -- professional tradesmen.

Product History:
----------------
The origins of Irwin Joran go back to May 1944, at which time
good friends Poul Jensen and Herman Reinholdt formed the company
Jensen and Reinholdt in Hvidovre, Denmark. They initially began
producing masonry drill bits and later, in 1955, expanded the
production line to hammer drill bits. Both product lines were
characterised by uncompromising quality and were mainly offered
to the building and construction industry. IRWIN is committed to
continue the original values of these products by delivering high
quality power tool accessories. The masonry drill bits range is
no exception to this and continues to fulfill the highest
industry standards.
