About Acme Tools
Acme Tools was founded as Acme Electric Motor in 1948 and continues to be a family-owned operation with ten locations in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. In 1999, Tool Crib of the North, Acme’s catalog, and internet division, was acquired by Amazon.com. After rebranding as Acme Tools, we are now one of the premier retailers of tools and equipment, both in-store and online. We pride ourselves on having a growing, innovative eCommerce department with a start-up like atmosphere, which will allow you to create and execute strategies with freedom and approach projects in creative ways.
