Description

Nice Torque Top multi-wrench 1965 Uni driver made by Cluthe Manufacturing Company from Kitchener Ontario. Vintage made in Canada collectible screwdriver and hand tool, comes with several bits, patented in US and Canada.

“Torque Top” name came from the fact that the bottom of the handle, which was spring-loaded and acted as the top of storage area for additional screwdriver bits inside the handle, could be released by pulling it outwards and rotating it out of the way, rather than unscrewing it (and potentially losing it) as on m

Brand

Cluthe Manufacturing Company

George Cluthé  founded the company in 1939, and eventually they were able to offer screwdrivers and many other moulded products such as tool-boxes, funnels, oilers, housewares, and furniture glides. Interestingly, the company didn't always use the accent aigu (é) on the name on their tools. They were purchased by Onward Multicorp in the mid-1990's, which then became Onward-Cluthé Hardware Products, with the motto, "We Don't Just Mould Products, We Mould Relationships."  Cute.  They're still out of Kitchener, but no longer make tools so the Cluthé brand has vanished from the tool marketplace.
