== History ==
The company began as Eastern Stainless Steel Corporation, a manufacturer of stainless and specialty steel. In 1967, the company acquired Moore Drop Forging, a Springfield, Massachusetts-based tool manufacturer and the primary supplier of Craftsman mechanic's tools. Easco continued the Craftsman contract with Sears. By 1969, the company was known as the Easco Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moore Drop Forging Company )〕
In 1985, the company was purchased by the investment brothers Steven Rales and Mitchell Rales and taken private. The hand tools division of the company was taken public, and the other divisions were sold to an investment group including Citicorp Venture Capital. In 1990, the hand tool division was acquired by the brothers' Danaher Corporation. This acquisition made the tools division the largest part of Danaher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hoover's">title=Danaher Corporation )〕 In 1991, Sears selected Danaher to be the exclusive supplier of Craftsman mechanic's tools.
In 2010, Danaher merged its tools division with Cooper Tools to form Apex Tool Group. The same year, Apex closed the Gaston, North Carolina plant where Easco manufactured sockets since 1978.
