Samuel and Sarah had one goal in mind when they produced that first hacksaw blade... create a high quality product at a reasonable cost. Four years later, they decided to move their business to Flushing, New York, to be closer to the New York market. The fledgling manufacturer suffered a severe setback when fire destroyed their building in 1929, but managed to continue manufacturing by merging and moving in with another hacksaw blade manufacturer, Great Neck Manufacturing, who had a small facility in Great Neck, New York.   In 1941, they expanded the operation by purchasing a hand saw company in York Pennsylvania, moving the entire business to a newly constructed plant in Mineola, New York. In time, Sam's four sons came to work for the company. First Sydney, coming right out of college, and then Richard, who gave up a successful career as a salesman with another company. Theodore and Salem came on board after serving in World War II and finishing college. The fifties and sixties brought more growth with the purchase of Buck Bros., a chisel company in Milbury, Massachusetts and Mayes Brothers, a level company in Johnson City, Tennessee. Before he died in 1971, Sam and his four sons had built Great Neck Saw from a small enterprise, into a major force in the hand tool business, adding a tape measure plant, and a plastic extrusion plant for their screwdriver and chisel line, greatly expanding the product offering. Today, three quarters of a century later, Samual and Sarah's commitment to quality and value is carried on by a third generation of Jacoff's who have made Great Neck a leading global supplier to the hardware, mass market, and automotive markets, with a state-of-the-art distribution network and manufacturing facilities around the world.
