BRAND HERITAGE
In 1889, James Neill formed his own company adopting the Eclipse brand name. Initially manufacturing steel, he moved on to manufacture machine knives, woodworking tools and hacksaw blades, for which the company is best known.
The Spear & Jackson range was developed independently of Eclipse branded products until 1985 when James Neill acquired the Spear & Jackson group, subsequently renaming the company as Spear & Jackson. The Spear & Jackson brand is probably best known for our offering of quality ranges of garden digging and cultivating tools and cutting tools, all of which are designed to appeal to all levels of garden expertise. As you would expect with over 250 years of experience, the Spear & Jackson ground work product offering has widened to accommodate natural product extensions such as contractors shovels and rakes, agricultural tools and landscaping products. Spear & Jackson hand tools developed alongside our ground work ranges and include tools for DIY and professional use, with our “Predator” branded woodsaws being the first range to be application lead, giving users the appropriate saw for the task.
Throughout development of the Spear & Jackson brand, the company has always continued to innovate both in terms of new ideas and applications, using new technologies and combining new and traditional materials to create reliable, superb quality, highly functional tools, creating our enviable reputation as a supplier of the tools to trust.
