HISTORY
 

Amigo Tools and Fasteners Inc. was founded by James Brown in 2005.

Mr. Brown started working construction when he was fourteen years old, for his uncle in Pennsylvania.  He gained first hand knowledge of tools and how they are used in the field. He worked as a tool repair person for a company in Raleigh, North Carolina from 1996 until 2000. He did repairs, inside sales, warehousing, purchasing, and operational duties, where he ended up as manager of the company. He was then hired by a competitor in Durham, North Carolina, where he worked until he started his own tool store in 2002 named J & W Tools Incorporated. He and his partner William were the first store in the area to be open for the customer on Saturdays. It was here, that Mr. Brown learned about true partnership. He was fortunate enough to have a good partner that complimented his abilities. Mr. Brown sold his share of J & W Tools Inc. in 2006.

In 2005, Amigo tools and fasteners were only being sold in a handful of states. As other tool companies decreased the price in their tools by compromising on the quality of the parts, Amigo Tools and Fasteners kept their quality high and gained market share. One example of this is our steel magazine on our Amigo is heat treated for durability while other companies have stopped this process to save a few dollars. Time and time again, all we had to do is make a quality tool at a fair price and put it in the customers hand for them to decide. As demand and brand recognition grew, Amigo Tools and Fasteners later chose distributors to sell their products to dealers in other states and countries. Amigo Tools and Fasteners deliver quality products at competitive prices.

Amigo Tools are sold in thirty seven states and three countries.
