NEW BRITAIN MACHINE COMPANY (1887-1972):
New Britain Machine Company was a tool company that was founded in 1887 and headquartered in New Britain Connecticut USA. The company started to sell sockets and drive tools. MUCH OF NEW BRITAIN MACHINE'S EARLY TOOL PRODUCTION WAS DONE UNDER THE NONE BETTER LINE. The early 1930s were a busy time for New Britain Machine Company. New Britain was the main supplier for NAPA (National Automotive Parts Association) tools until its closure in 1990. New Britain Machine owned Husky (1931) and Blackhawk Tools (1955) as well as making its own economy-grade tools under the None Better and Mustang names. New Britain Machine was then acquired by the Litton Tool Company on December 22, 1972.
In 1972, New Britain Machine Company was acquired by Litton Industrial Products. Litton continued to be the owner of New Britain Machine Company until the latter's closure in 1990 Its assets (including the Blackhawk and Husky trademarks) were acquired by The Stanley Works which continues to use the Blackhawk name for one of its product lines.
