ARES

ARES is a hand tool brand operated by MJD Industries, LLC out of Plymouth, Michigan, focused on automotive and specialty mechanic tools. The brand distributes primarily through Amazon and independent tool retailers rather than traditional big-box automotive distribution, and pairs its product line with a Performance Assurance program that promises troubleshooting, replacement parts, or refunds when a tool fails.

The ARES catalog spans beam and click torque wrenches, harmonic balancer pullers, pry bars, ratchet sets, brake bleeders, and specialty mechanic tools. Pricing sits in the budget-to-mid-tier band on Amazon, below name-brand mechanic tool catalogs (Tekton, GearWrench, Craftsman) and well below professional grades (Snap-on, CDI, Norbar). The brand also participates in the ASPCA Business Ambassador Program.
