Lisle Tools

The Lisle Corporation was founded in 1903 in Clarinda, Iowa, as a privately owned company. Today it is led by third, fourth and fifth generation family members. Lisle started out making horse-powered water well drilling machines. To combat the seasonality of the well drilling business, the company branched out and began to develop, design, and manufacture cream separators, washing machines, and push-type reel lawn mowers.

In the mid-20s, the corporation entered the automotive aftermarket with its master ignition vibrator for Ford Model T vehicles. The first Lisle tool was a valve refacer that fast became a repair shop must since valves were reground every 20,000 miles at that time. Thanks to its extremely durable products, the Lisle Corporation grew into a renowned manufacturer of specialty automotive tools, mechanic's creepers and lubrication and tire products.

Today, the company keeps branching out with constant innovation of new products. Lisle mechanic's creepers, specialty automotive tools, lubrication and tire products, etc. are the preferred line among the most respected automotive warehouse distributors because Lisle manufactures quality products at the most affordable prices. The specialty automotive tool line by the Lisle corporation now consists of more than 400 products that make any repair job easier and quicker. Any of them from Lisle creepers to Lisle valve spring compressors are presented right on this webpage for you to get them easily and fast.
