Petit Tool was founded in 1963 as a traditional tool and die machine shop catering to the needs of the stamping industry. Early on we became involved with seamless gutters when a local contractor approached us about designing and manufacturing a better gutter hanger. The Vampire hanger was the result. Since then, we have brought to market dozens of innovative gutter accessories: round outlets, the Petit Punch, gutter wedges, hidden hangers, gutter guard, etc. Our specialty has always been designing and building a better product.
The machine shop side of Petit Tool is an important stand alone part of our business. We have a true state of the art capability with both CNC and traditional machinery set in a modern 31,500 sq. ft. facility. Besides gutter products, we make a variety of specialty hand tools, custom build machinery for the textile industry, stamp parts for airplane seats and sail boats, and machine components for Navy radar sets. We are equipped and manned to take on whatever challenge the future may hold.
Our specialty is vertical CNC machining, in runs of 40 to 1,000 pieces. We are most experienced with aluminum and stainless, but have also worked with cast iron, brass, bronze, Inconel, Hastalloy, G10, Teflon and other plastics. Our stamping presses--with up to 120 ton capacity--and our in-house tool design and fabrication capability also allow us to produce specialty stamped parts.
Response to a recent shipment:
“The clamp . . . has passed first article inspection, with a note from our First Article Lab which said: "This clamp met all dimensional requirements very easily. This is a well-made part. We hope that Petit Tools will compete to make more parts for the Air Force with this quality."”
