Located in the beautiful Bosque Valley of Central Texas, the Gearench manufacturing facilities are located about one mile south of Clifton, Texas on State Highway 6.

Gearench was founded in Houston, Texas in 1927 as Gearench Manufacturing Company, by J.A. Peterson and C.E. “Pat” Olsen. The first patented product, the Gearench, was a hand tool for use on small diameter pipe. From this original tool, the company has grown and developed over 40 product lines for use in various areas of the oil industry including exploration, drilling, production, refining and completion. Tools have also been developed for water well and trenchless technology drilling, as well as mining, power generation utilities, and general industrial markets.
