Nail Jack News + SawStop vs. Finger + Wood Gear Clocks


ToolCrib.com Exclusive: Nail Jack Tools, Inc. to Purchase DeWitt Vise-Grip Factory?

Nail Jack Tools - an American nail-pulling tool manufacturer - has reportedly entered into an agreement to purchase the Vise-Grip factory in DeWitt, Nebraska, according to a recent announcement made on the factory floor. The Vise-Grip factory, currently owned by Newell Rubbermaid, went up for sale in early September, 2008. At least some of the 330 workers from DeWitt may simply be changing employers rather than losing their jobs, which would be good news for a manufacturing facility located in a small Nebraska village of only 560 people.
