Footprint Tools

This company was bought by the current owning family in 1948[1] and began to manufacture a range of tools under the Footprint, Domino, Climax, John Bull and Clinker brands.

During World War 2 the divisions of the business were engaged in manufacturing hand tools for British and Commonwealth forces.

After the war Footprint continued to grow, manufacture and expand its range hand tools for the professional tradesman.

[4] The Jewitt family retained the brand and intellectual property, and later that year revived the company under the name Footprint Sheffield, and began producing a smaller range of products at first.

[5] With the same family of owner managers, now run by the fourth generation, in 2015 Footprint continues to manufacture most products in Sheffield, England and exports worldwide.
