A&E Incorporated Hand Tools and Automotive Equipment Catalog
A&E Incorporated Hand Tools and Automotive Equipment
A&E Incorporated traces its origins to 1932, when Daniel M. Lang began manufacturing precision thickness feeler gauges in his basement workshop in Racine, Wisconsin — the first customer was Snap-on Tools, then as now one of the most demanding buyers of precision hand tools in the United States. That early relationship with Snap-on set the quality standard that has defined A&E Incorporated for four generations of the Lang family. Today the company operates as a holding company for A&E Tools, Eckmann Custom Products, and Cabat, Inc., employing hundreds of workers in the Racine community and maintaining its commitment to American manufacturing.
The A&E Incorporated catalog spans a broad range of professional-grade tools marketed under the Hi-tech Tools, Kastar, Hazet, Star Products, and TCS brand names. Automotive repair shops rely on A&E Incorporated for ratchet wrenches, diagnostic tools, torque protection equipment, and specialty gauges. The company's torque protection line — which prevents mechanical equipment from damage caused by overload — serves industrial customers well beyond the auto repair market, including aerospace, heavy equipment, and precision manufacturing operations.

From its founding at the depth of the Great Depression to its present role as a multi-division manufacturer, A&E Incorporated has grown through strategic acquisitions that expanded both its product range and market reach. The company continues to operate locally and family-owned out of Racine, Wisconsin, and provides financial support to the community through The Lang Family Foundation. Customers can order tools and request custom metal fabrication services through https://aeincorporated.com or by calling 800-645-1142.
