They manufacture and distribute a full line of specialty tools, cooling system adapters, oil change products, cam alignment tools and disconnect tools for Asian, Domestic and European vehicles. Located in Boulder, Colorado, AST was founded in 1978 by Gerhard Assenmacher and has remained at the forefront of independently owned tool companies since their beginning. Many decades of hands-on industry experience is what makes their team stand above the rest. They build relationships, they know their customers and they know their products. They take pride in the fact that their customers can simply pick up the phone and they are there to help–that’s the personal service you’ll find at AST.
Many products from AST are Made in the U.S.A. — including their Cooling System Adapters, Engine Oil Funnels and many Special application tools. Those that work in U.S. manufacturing are consumers in their local states and cities. If these people continue to manufacture goods, they will continue to make local purchases and support their local economies. As long as businesses thrive, they will require goods and services that meet their daily needs. Independence as a society requires the skill, ability and knowledge to make things themselves.
