Products from Red Devil

In the early 1900’s, the RED DEVIL® name became synonymous with quality tools for professional and DIY projects. In 1932, General Manager George L. Lee, Sr. acquired the Vesco Tools Company’s line of wood scrapers – the first of nearly three dozen acquisitions designed to expand and improve the RED DEVIL® line. These acquisitions included complementary lines of painters’ tools, including wall scrapers, putty knives, glaziers’ diamond points and automatic point drivers.readmorelink In all, more than 30 different manufacturers’ products began carrying the RED DEVIL® brand, further popularizing the name. And the tradition continued. In 1963, under the direction of George L. Lee, Jr., RED DEVIL® acquired the Schalk Chemical Company adding a line of adhesives, cleaners and sealants to its growing family of products. This chemical line would quickly become a major contributor to the business and later help pioneer innovative, new products such as ONETIME® Lightweight Spackling, the first lightweight spackling on the market and LIFETIME® Adhesive Sealant, the first siliconized acrylic sealant guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Red Devil®, Inc. is still a privately-owned family business with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Pryor, Oklahoma. They’re the only manufacturer to offer such a broad and diversified line of hand tools and chemical products for professional and home maintenance and improvement – more than 400 different products in all. In addition to producing caulks, sealants and tools under their own brand name, they also manufacture private label products for some of the nation’s largest hardware and home center chains. And, just as they did from the start, they’re still building on their reputation for quality, dependability and innovation – guaranteeing that America’s latest generation of professional contractors and do-it-yourselfers will continue to depend on RED DEVIL® products well into the next millennium.
