Incorporated in 1948, Tinker & Rasor has been continuously manufacturing Holiday Detectors since the founding of the Company. Our Holiday Detectors are widely used throughout the world to inspect protective coatings used to mitigate corrosion.

 

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.

 

Constant research and development ensure our customers receive the advantages of the latest product design, backed by proven dependability and performance.

​

Our commitment to research, product development, and service is central to our success. We believe we provide practical, modern instrumentation designed for reliable performance and offered at competitive prices.

 

In 2019, Tinker & Rasor moved from its location of 70 years in California to a larger facility in New Braunfels, TX. This move allows us to grow and better serve its customers with its people, products, and customer service.
