We have been in the aviation business since the mid-1970's.  Our history of manufacturing aircraft sheet metal parts and assemblies along with engine STC's gave us first hand experience with all tools.  No other airplane tool kit provider can claim this experience.  We have a 210 horsepower STC for the Cessna R172K with a Continental IO-360 engine.  Our Piper Cherokee product line, now owned by Knots2U, included window additions, wingtips, landing lights, dorsal fins, and structural wing and stabilator extensions on PA-28, PA-28R and PA-32 airplanes.  These Piper products may now be purchased from the new owner, Knots 2U.

Our experience in building aircraft aluminum structure is current, not over 30-years ago. Our FAA PMA approves our supplier and quality systems to build our aircraft components.

We recently added the uAvionix ADSB product line in support of LSA and Experimental airplanes. For these aircraft the echoUAT ADS-B is the perfect solution. See our ADS-B page and ADS-B product catalog for your adsb solutions. If you have any questions or need the adsb unit installed in your experimental or Light Sport Airplane give us a call and we will be glad to help you out.

Many aircraft builders are not aware that Avery tools stopped doing business.  Avery tools was a good competitor and after the Avery's stopped there is a gap in aircraft tool suppliers.  Our products include most of the special aircraft tool kits that Avery tools used to offer. 

If you are a mobile tool dealer and are interested in carrying our products on your tool truck let us know. We are currently supplying several mobile tool dealers with products for servicing the aircraft sheet metal tool market. Mobile tool dealers may purchase most of our products to offer for sale on their mobile tool trucks at an affordable rate. Those mobile tool dealers that service any airport or aviation maintenance facilities will want to offer our products to the aircraft mechanics that they regularly service with their tool trucks.

We include the Experimental Aero DRDT-2 dimpler in our product line.  This machine makes perfect dimples and is very quiet, unlike the mallet type. The DRDT-2 will be a great addition to your shop.  Isham Inc. also carries a full line of pneumatic compression rivet squeezers including C-squeezers and A-squeezers.
