Hassler Instruments Bolt Action Spring Bar Tool - Brass & Ultem Limited Edition

Founded by Tom Bushey, HASSLER INSTRUMENTS is named after Ferdinand Hassler, a Swiss-American Surveyor and Mathematician. In 1816 Hassler was appointed as the first Superintendent of the Survey of the Coast, the first scientific agency in the United States. Hassler was known for designing the instruments he used in his surveys, a practice that inspired the creation of the first HASSLER INSTRUMENTS Bolt Action Spring Bar Tool. Each tool is made to order on manually operated machine tools and finished by hand in our St Paul, Minnesota workshop.
