You likely recognize several of their brands:. Who makes Harbor Freight Power Tools remains a mystery—possibly because they may have switched suppliers in the past. Some have suggested LuTool, a company established in June supplies their power tools.
Not to be outdone, others have suggested Powerplus as the manufacturer behind the Drill Master, Warrior, Bauer, and Hercules lines of tools. Powerplus is a division of European company Varo with headquarters in Belgium. We wish we could give a definitive answer, but Harbor Freight has remained tightlipped as to its power tool manufacturing partners. Hilti and Makita are just Hilti and Makita.
Makita, on the other hand, did acquire the Dolmar brand, bolstering its already-impressive line of outdoor power equipment tools. That means the tools get specified by the store but executed by another manufacturer.
While you may have thought you knew who owned all those power tool manufacturers, consolidation has changed the playing field. Finally, if we missed any tool mergers or acquisitions, please leave a comment below.
Today Neu Tool remains independent and family owned with a heavy dedication to customer service as it did in the fifties. Sales and support staff have combined experience with backgrounds in mobile tool, parts store, and warehousing operations.
