A History of Success
A legendary USA-made brand of power tools established in 1914 to support the growing production and manufacturing needs of an expanding America.
Sioux is relentlessly focused on engineering better solutions to help tool users hold, use and maintain their power tools. As a result – Sioux power tools last longer and work harder in manufacturing, repair and assembly operations. Over the years, tens of thousands of tool users have been part of the growing legacy of Sioux power tools – ensuring that the products are built to withstand the toughest working environments.
Today, if it Protects, Transports or Powers around the World – Sioux power tools are likely part of the team that builds it.
Mission
To create and serve customers with quality products and service that meet or exceed their expectations.
1914
Sioux Tools has a long and proud heritage of innovation as they have helped to shape the face of the tool industry.
The company was started in November of 1914 by Swedish tool maker, Oscar Albertson, and office boy, Harold Jacobson, with a goal to become the “best machine and tool shop”. Sioux has since grown to become a trusted partner by a wide range of industrial and manufacturing segments.
1917
Originally named Albertson & Company, the first items manufactured were piston rings, spark plugs and a gas saver. They soon expanded their line to become a powerful force in the marketplace.
In early 1917, Oscar Albertson designed a valve lathe – a hand tool used to seat engine valves. This invention proved to be the foundation upon which Sioux Tools has built a reputation for innovation throughout the world.
1958
During the 1920s the company revolutionized the tool industry by introducing some of the very first hand held power tools.
In 1958 the company further solidified its position as a market leader by designing and producing its first air powered tools.
1994
In 1994 Sioux Tools joined Snap-on Incorporated, which added industrial power tools to the extensive Snap-on line.
Product lines include hand and power tools, diagnostics and shop equipment, tool storage products, diagnostics software and other solutions for the transportation service, industrial, government, education, agricultural, and other commercial applications, including construction and electrical.

Today, Sioux Tools has been granted well over 100 patents. Innovation, ingenuity and insight have established Sioux tools in the minds of the professional as the tool to depend on. Our commitment to continued development in ergonomics and innovative design ensures that we will meet the needs of professionals for many years to come.
