Husky Tools

Husky is The Home Depot’s tool brand, supplied by product-specific manufacturers; a historical compressor recall identifies Campbell Hausfeld as importer, not a maker of every Husky tool.

Evidence: [1][3]

Text version of the map

  • Husky Tools (Brand): Husky is The Home Depot’s tool brand, supplied by product-specific manufacturers; a historical compressor recall identifies Campbell Hausfeld as importer, not a maker of every Husky tool. [1][3]
  • Husky Tools → The Home Depot (Owner): The Home Depot, which lists Husky among its proprietary brands. [1]
  • The Home Depot → Husky Tools manufacturing (Manufacturer): Model-specific suppliers; Campbell Hausfeld was the named importer for the particular compressors in the 2008 CPSC notice. [3]

Who owns Husky Tools?

The Home Depot’s annual report identifies Husky as a proprietary brand. The retailer also publishes the brand’s warranty terms; neither document establishes that one outside company manufactures the entire line. [1][2]

Who actually makes Husky Tools products?

The 2008 CPSC notice identifies Campbell Hausfeld as importer of specified Campbell Hausfeld and Husky air compressors. Importer is the role actually stated, so it should not be rewritten as proof of a universal Husky OEM. [3]

Where are Husky Tools products made?

The recalled compressors were manufactured in China and sold during 2005–2007. That is historical model-specific evidence, not a current factory list for Husky sockets, cabinets or all compressors. [3]

Is Husky Tools made in China or the USA?

Some documented historical Husky compressors were China-made. The reviewed sources do not establish a US/China country split for current hand tools or storage products, so those allocations remain Unconfirmed. [3][1]

Same factory, different label

A common retailer or a similar warranty does not prove common manufacture. Home Depot’s brand portfolio and Husky warranty document should not be used to claim that Husky, Kobalt and ICON tools all come from one factory. [1][2]
