The Eastwood Company

DIY automotive repair and restoration tools

Overview

Eastwood sells tools and supplies for DIY automotive repair, restoration, and modification for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Its products include specialized hand tools, coatings, and equipment that let customers repair body panels, restore finishes, and upgrade components, often with guidance tailored to automotive projects. The company differentiates itself with a long history (since 1978) focused on hobbyists and professional restorers and a product lineup centered on hands-on automotive work rather than general hardware. Its goal is to help customers complete automotive projects reliably by providing practical tools and project-focused guidance.
