Welcome
Here at Bushton Manufacturing, we take pride in long-lasting, well-built tools like the Hawk line. Hawk Woodworking Tools started as Pruitt in 1929 in the town of Pleasant Hill, MO. RB Industries (RBI) bought Pruitt in 1972 and moved the company to Harrisonville, MO. In 2007, RBI sold out to an investment group who called the company Hawk Woodworking Industries, LLC and moved the company outside Garden City, MO.
In March of 2009, the investment group closed the doors of Hawk Woodworking Industries, LLC. On April 14th, less than a month later, we, Bushton Manufacturing, LLC purchased Hawk Woodworking Industries, LLC (formerly RBI), moved it to our facilities in Bushton, KS and combined it with our other operations.
We enjoy hearing from customers, many of whom have had their machines for 20+ years. We will always make an effort to get the right parts to the right place and we strive to ensure customer satisfaction.

As we prepare to move forward into the new year, the holidays are a perfect time for people to reflect on where we've been. It is a time to remember how we came to be where we are now and plan for the future. We here at Bushton Manufacturing, makers of Hawk tools, could never have succeeded in rebuilding the strength and reliability that is the Hawk name without you. To our loyal customers who call in to tell us how amazing their machine is or how much happiness it has brought to the world, we thank you. To our new customers who have only been using your machines a short while, thank you for choosing Hawk and we hope your Hawk product brings you and everyone around you great joy. From all of us here at Bushton Manufacturing, to all of you enjoying or considering the Hawk product,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
