Jiffy Air Tool was founded in 1949 by Kelly (Pop) Pettit in sunny Southern California. Kelly and his sons originally manufactured tools for the automotive market. However it wasn’t long before California’s rapidly expanding aerospace industry discovered Jiffy Air Tool products. Emphasis was moved from the automotive industry to airframe assembly and aerospace needs. Modern methods of manufacturing and distribution, plus prompt factory service enabled Jiffy Air Tool to become one of the major companies in the pneumatic tool industry. Supply and demand for our aerospace assembly tools are sold around the world. In 1977 Jack Pettit Sr., son of Pop Pettit, opened his own company, United Air Tool Inc. in Carson City Nevada and began production of aerospace assembly tools. In 1978 Jack Pettit Jr. was elected President of United Air Tool Inc. and became the third generation of the family to produce tools for Aerospace Industry. Jack Jr. started a modernization program that continues to this day. A new state of the art factory was built in Carson City Nevada with a modern computer aided design studio for future tool needs and the latest computer controlled machinery for production demand. After running the business as United Air Tool for over 25 years Jack Pettit Jr. CEO and Margaret Buckingham Vice President discussed the possibility of changing the name of the company back to Jiffy Air Tool Inc. Jack Jr. quotes “I had owned the name for many years and it
made me very happy to return the name of
our family business back to Jiffy Air Tool.“ Jiffy
is a Registered Trademark of United Air Tool
Inc. |
