WHS (William Hunt and Sons) Trowels

WHS is the United Kingdom's best known trowel brand. The firm started in 1793 as William Hunt & Sons of Brades Steel Works, of Oldbury, near Birmingham. In 1962 Spear & Jackson acquired the parent firm, and in 1985 Neill Tools bought Spear & Jackson. Today, Neill Tools is the largest UK-owned hand tool manufacturer, and sells trowels forged in Sheffield as WHS Tyzack. Their other trowel brands are Tyzack and Spear & Jackson.
