About - LEE TOOLS

Our Brand - LEE TOOLS®

Established in 1984, LEE TOOLS® was born from the vision of founder Lawrence Lee, whose name still drives the brand today. What began as a small tool company, selling tools at local flea markets, quickly earned a reputation across Texas for offering dependable tools at unbeatable prices.

As word spread, LEE Tools grew beyond its local roots. Our product line expanded to include hand tools, power tools, automotive tools, striking tools, and more—serving everyone from weekend DIYers to professional tradespeople. With growing demand came wider reach, and today LEE Tools is distributed nationwide and across South and Central America.

Lawrence Lee and his family continue to lead United General Supply Co., Inc., their signature brands: LEE Tools, and LEIGH COUNTRY, our line of outdoor furniture and décor.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we proudly supply retailers, wholesalers, and distributors across the U.S. and around the world.

Our mission is simple:
Better Price. Better Quality. Always.

When you choose LEE Tools, you're not just buying a tool—you're investing in a legacy of reliability, value, and hard work.
