In those early years, Craftool enlisted many leathercrafters to design and create a large and varied selection of leathercraft tools. Ultimately, Craftool Company manufactured high quality, hand and machine crafted, leathercraft hand tools in Los Angeles until 1963 and then in Fort Worth Texas from 1963 until 1999 at which time the Craftool Manufacturing facility was closed permanently due to corporate downsizing. It's a great testimony to the skill and craftsmanship of the employees of Craftool Company USA that the tools they manufactured decades ago are still providing leathercrafters enjoyment and beautiful results. Craftool branded leathercraft hand tools made since 1999 were manufactured in Taiwan or China and are generally regarded as not having the quality and durability that the early genuine USA-made Craftool leathercraft hand tools were known to possess by previous generations of leathercrafters.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craftool Co USA Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36610770731168,"sku":"59-CT","price":9.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0476\/3939\/6512\/products\/Craftool-Co-59-1.jpg?v=1601936048","url":"https:\/\/www.leatherworktoolsupply.com\/products\/ballpoint-tracing-stylus-59-craftool-usa","provider":"LeatherworkToolSupply.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
