About Us

Made in the USA

Dasco Pro

Dasco Pro has been hand forging and selling tools for carpentry, masonry, and demolition since 1922.  The Dasco brand incorporates times tested design, superior materials and distinguishing technology into a broad range of high quality tools for construction professionals, home improvement enthusiasts, and hobbyists alike. Our tools are crafted with High Carbon Steel from the USA for ultimate durability and strength.  Each tool is hand ground and polished by skilled craftsmen and heat treated to meet ASME standards. 

The upset head on the largest striking tools was developed and trademarked as Targethead tools in 1948.  This feature gives a large surface to strike and allows protection to the hand holding the tool. The Dasco Pro TargetGuard® tool holder is featured on all of our best selling Targethead® struck tools. The TargetGuard® offers a 3 ¾” circle of protection against glancing blows and missed hits. Our TargetGuard® is made of a special blend of durable molded plastic that is permanently force-fit around the shaft of select striking tools and is a Dasco Pro exclusive. It features a full 360-degree handhold for a firm, comfortable grip.
