Lisle

Lisle Corporation is a Clarinda, Iowa-based tool manufacturer with over a century in specialty automotive service tooling. The company is best known for single-purpose hand tools that solve specific repair tasks — brake piston wind-back cubes, oil filter wrenches, coolant system tools — rather than general-purpose socket sets. Lisle tools are sold through professional tool distributors, parts stores (AutoZone, O'Reilly, NAPA), and Amazon, and are a common recommendation in DIY mechanic communities for task-specific tooling where a general-purpose ratchet set falls short.
