In
early 2007, Dasco Pro, Inc., a quality hand tool manufacturer since 1922
and one of the last remaining hand tool forging companies in the United
States, turned their attention to the tools being used by fire and
rescue personnel. After visiting several firehouses nearby in Rockford
(IL) and consulting with area firefighters, they realized that there
were many professional firefighters, rescue personnel, and departments,
and municipalities looking for innovative products at a better price.
Dasco
Pro believed that they could bring value to this underserved market by
designing and developing superior quality tools that would be
manufactured and assembled in the USA, using American steel, still the
world’s finest. Within a year, Dasco was ready to introduce a full line
of Fire and Rescue products - axes, sledges, hooks, and forcible entry
tools – that merged the first quality of their forged steel with
innovative, hi-density, hi-visibility handles designed to improve
durability and reduce the number of tools lost in smoky, low visibility
situations. |
