A Little History
Indestro has a fascinating history in American tool manufacturing. The company developed from the Sure Seal Bottle Capper Company and was producing automotive and mechanic’s tools under the Indestro name by the 1920s. Indestro later became associated with Duro Metal Products, with the two companies becoming an important Chicago-based American tool manufacturer.
