Proto Industrial Tools, a division of Stanley Black and Decker, is a leading manufacturer of industry-grade torque tools, cutting tools, finishing tools and fastening tools. These Stanley Proto tools are widely used in military and Government institutions, as well as in manufacturing, oil & gas, and aerospace industries. Proto® tools are heat forged and nickel-plated, making them tough enough to withstand even the most demanding work environment, from the blast of zero-degree temperatures to the rapid fire pace of the factory floor. At Proto®, we’re safety obsessed, so every tool has gone through rigorous testing to ensure it won’t fail on the job.

Before that, though in 1962, Proto formed a joint enterprise with a Mr. Urrea of Mexico to create a Mexican company, 'Protomex, SA' to manufacture Proto tools in Mexico. After Ingersoll Rand bought Proto, Urrea bought out the American share of Protomex S.A. but also gave up the rights to use the Proto trademark, and today we have URREA tools the biggest tool maker in Mexico, marketing tools not only in Mexico but also in the US which are remarkabaly similar to the Proto brand including even the same part numbers but bearing the URREA brand.
