Norbar is now owned solely by the descendants of the founder, Bill Brodey, and they remain every
bit as passionate about providing customers with high quality, value for money products and services.

The company was originally established in 1942. The "North Bar Tool Company" became the very first
company in Britain to commercially manufacture a torque wrench. The earley initial demand was driven
by the need for the gasket-less cylinder head of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine to be accurately
tightened. Bill and his partner Ernest Thornitt obtained a license from Britain's war-time Government
to begin manufacture of torque wrenches and Norbar was born.

Ever since, Norbar has continued to invest heaverly in the very latest design, manufacturing and
quality control technology to achieve the highest level of innovation and precision in the field of
torque control equipment.
