COMPANY INFORMATION

Company owner, Carl Votaw, began his apprenticeship in instrument repair at the age of 12 working with his father who was than an accomplished repairman and machinist. Carl has since remained active in the repair business and today is a highly recognized repair technician.

With the combined experience of general manager, John Horrell, who began his career as a repair technician in 1979, we can proudly claim that all of our products reflect over 70 years experience in the repair business.

Each of the tools designed and manufactured by Votaw Tool Company has been extensively used in our own repair shop, allowing us the opportunity to work out the 'bugs' as well as find ways to improve upon the tool's performance. Most of the tools have been redesigned and rebuilt several times before going in to the hands of our customer.

This is the reason why we urge our customers to take advantage of our Risk Free Trial Period - try any tool for 30 days and if for ANY reason you find that the tool does not completely meet your standards or needs it may be returned to us for a full refund (less freight).
