Tinker and Rasor’s History
Tinker and Rasor, a California Corporation, is an electronics firm successfully engaged in the design, development and manufacture of Holiday Detectors, Detectron Pipe and Cable Locators and Fluid Leak Detectors, plus a sizable line of Cathodic Protection Instrumentation.
More History →In 1961 a product line was added through the purchase of the Detectron business. Detectron instruments have been manufactured continuously since 1949 and are well known for their high standard of quality. Detectron products consist of pipe, cable and leak detectors used primarily by leading utility and contracting companies.
In 2008, Tinker and Rasor moved from its location of 60 years in San Gabriel, CA to a larger facility in San Bernardino, CA. This move allows us to grow and better serve its customers with its people, products and customer service.
