Ledin

Founded in the early 20th century in Saint-Étienne, France, Ledin has built a legacy of craftsmanship in precision measuring tools. Known for its high standards in metallurgy and toolmaking, the region of Saint-Étienne has long been associated with skilled hand-forging traditions, and Ledin stands as one of its enduring manufacturers.

Ledin specializes in traditional layout instruments such as wing dividers, spring dividers, and calipers—tools essential to generations of woodworkers, machinists, and metalworkers. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Ledin tools are forged individually, with careful attention to detail and function. Their hardened tips, finely tuned springs, and riveted joints reflect techniques that have changed little over the decades.

Used across Europe in workshops, studios, and schools, Ledin tools are valued not only for their durability but for the quiet legacy they carry—bridging classic craftsmanship with practical precision.
