This was the starting place for several of the company’s earliest variations of flagship mini-hooks, such as the creation of the E-Z-Clip and the E-Z-Probe . 1956-70 From 1958 to 1970, Ashford Wood and his son Phelps Wood represented the E-Z-Hook line, as well as several other manufacturers, through the Ash M. Wood Company. During this time frame, E-Z-Hook’s product line consisted of only 12 products. E-Z-Hook received their first patents for the company, the patent for the first hypo-action test hook for electrical connections. 1970 In 1971, Phelps Wood and his father Ashford Wood purchased E-Z-Hook from Bob Youger with the firm belief that the company had much potential with their hypo-action hook being unique to the industry. They broadened E-Z-Hook’s current mini-hook line, adding micro-hook and macro-hook options. With the ever-evolving technological industry, the original E-Z-Hook was modified, creating the X100W mini-hook model that is still utilized today. During this decade E-Z-Hook established numerous distributors across the globe ranging from Canada, Mexico, South America, and multiple countries throughout Western Europe. 1980 E-Z-Hook aggressively expands into the automotive industry with the development of the XJL and XEL insulation-piercing macro-hooks. During this time, E-Z-Hook continues to add and expand product to other existing product lines, expanding their manufacturing to much more than just test hooks. The company moves into a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Arcadia, California. 1990 As medical equipment becomes more technologically advanced, E-Z-Hook sees the need for electronic connections in the marketplace and proceeds to enter the industry with customized test leads, cables, and hooks. At the same time, E-Z-Hook sees tremendous growth in their electronic field division with E-Z-Hook’s XKM test hook becoming a staple for logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. 2000 E-Z-Hook continues designing and developing new products allowing E-Z-Hook to expand their industry reach. The XMR Micro-Hook line is launched, expanding the micro product line to seven hook styles. Designed specifically to accommodate the defense industry and EOD space, E-Z-Hook developed our insulation piercing XB wire clamp. E-Z-Hook further expands its product line into the energy industry with multiple Tag-Out components. Becoming actively involved is the third generation of Wood’s family members. In 2006, E-Z-Hook celebrated its 50th anniversary. 2010 Continued product development has once again allowed E-Z-Hook to expand its product offerings across multiple industries. Our most noticeable area of growth has been the large growth in engineering and development services to support customized products servicing aerospace, defense, energy, and medical. E-Z-Hook continues to meet government and international regulations with an extensive RoHS and REACH compliant product line. In 2018, an extensive plant remodel was completed which was helpful in establishing a more cohesive production environment. In October of 2016, E-Z-Hook obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification.
