Matco Tools was created in 1946.
Gearwrench tools are currently manufactured by Danaher (June 2009). Danaher's other brands of mechanics tools include K-D Tools, Matco Tools, Kobalt (Lowe's house brand), and Craftsman (to name a few, there are more!). (Kobalt used to me mfg by Snap-On; not any more!).

Yes, they order tools from blacksmiths, and the blacksmiths make any tool they need. ~edit~ Depending on the shop they work for most Auto Mechanics will be required to have their own hand tools, most often bought from mobile tool dealers such as Cornwell Tools, Mac Tools, Snap On and Matco.
