Lowend X Chapman Manufacturing Co.
Some years ago we learned about Chapman Manufacturing Co. Eagerly, a kit for the garage was ordered. The kit may not be something we use daily, but there are times when it’s size has been perfect for tight jobs around the garage. Made in the USA which is important to us. We approached Chapman about designing our own kit. We wanted it to be focused for today’s cars, metric and with a selection of torx bits. Little did we know when designing our kit with Joel at Chapman, we would be designing their first ever laser engraved ratchet. We selected an orange case, because it was only right. And Joel’s team 3D printed a Lowend branded card for the case. Our first ever venture into hard goods, we hope you will get plenty of use out of the set for years to come. Limited to 30 pieces.
About Chapman Manufacturing:
Chapman Manufacturing was established in 1936 in the garage of Old Man Chapman on Meeting House Hill Rd in the small town of Durham, Connecticut. In 1965, Bill and Doris LeVee bought the company and moved it right around the corner to its current location. Current owner, Tracy Camassar, was selected by the LeVees to carry Chapman into the next generation.
Tracy, Mr. LeVee and Old Man Chapman, are all quality control sticklers, which explains the hundreds of glowing reviews from customers we've received over the past 80+ years attesting to the quality, durability and handiness of our tools. People use Chapman midget ratchets and insert bits to repair and service everything from firearms to appliances, computers to dental equipment, and to what was Mr. LeVee's delight, Apache helicopters!
Chapman tools and parts are American made and assembled from American made materials. Everything from the gear inside our famous midget ratchet, to our steel and paper brochures are made in America, the way it has been since 1936.
