Since 1976, our parent company - R.C.S. Tool & Machine,
has been producing quality tools and dies for clients all over the world.
They produced tooling for the manufacture of baking pans for the government
of Hungary. Along with tooling to manufacture aluminum doors, windows
and many other products for places like Madagascar, Brazil, Saint Lucia
and Jamaica to name a few. But all along the way they were busy developing
a product line of their own, "Lockpick Tools". Some of the
first tools developed in 1979 were the Slim Jim and a complete set of
lock picks, as well as a complete package of automotive wire tools.
In 1985 they started to manufacture their tools from Tempered
Stainless Steel instead of the conventional Blue Temper Carbon Steel.
Their market was still a small niche market, so in 1998 it was decided
to expand their market share with dedicated energy and resources toward
the development of new products rather than build tooling and dies for
outside sourcing. The Slide-6 is a good example of this effort. This
is only one of the many new products that will continue to join their
product line.
