The story of Huskie Tools is a narrative of family bonds and highvoltage reliability, a journey that began in 1976—the year of America’s bicentennial—in Chicago, Illinois. It started with a father and son, Tom and Joe Itrich, who leveraged their deep knowledge of the utility industry to build something greater than just a manufacturing plant. They built a culture where the people making the tools mattered just as much as the tools themselves.

    At the very heart of their identity is an unbreakable "customer first" culture rooted in family. Huskie Tools distinguishes itself by treating its workforce and its customers as an extended family. This isn't just a corporate slogan; it is a reality reflected in their incredible retention. Nearly 50% of the original workforce remains at their suburban Chicago headquarters today. Employees have always been empowered to run the company as if it were their own, ensuring that the passion for making the industry's most durable products is personal.

    This is a story of pioneering innovation in dangerous arenas. Linemen perform some of the most demanding and hazardous jobs on the planet, and Huskie Tools recognized early on that they needed safer, smarter equipment. In 1989, they revolutionized the utility industry by introducing the first batterypowered hydraulic tools. By combining the highest quality materials with advanced technology, they forged a reputation for durability that many in the industry consider legendary.

    This is a story of absolute, unwavering focus. For over 45 years, Huskie Tools has not been distracted by side projects or unrelated markets. They live, eat, and breathe lineman tools. They exclusively build the best hydraulic cutting and compression tools in the utility industry. Their comprehensive product line ensures that when the pressure is on, linemen have exact solutions for:

 Distribution, Substation, Transmission, Overhead and Underground Projects

    Today, the story of Huskie Tools is one of an industry standard built on trust. It is a promise that whether you are repairing a downed power line in a storm or building out a new substation, you are supported by equipment backed by decades of unsurpassed expertise—tools that are truly "Built for everything that’s on the line.™"
