Hickok Pruning Tools, established in 1928, Vaca Shears, established in 1912, and Wells & Wade Harvest
Equipment, established in 1922, were brought together to be manufactured by Superior Fruit Equipment when
it was created in 1995 in the heart of the fruit growing region of the Pacific Northwest, Wenatchee, WA. Our
location gives us instant access to feedback from the users of the tools we manufacture.
Our products are made in the USA and we pride ourselves on manufacturing the highest quality tools
available to the professional fruit industry. Our products are sold through stocking dealers located in the
various fruit growing regions of the world.
All Vaca tools are designed for continuous use on a daily basis; cutting efficiency is of the utmost importance.
The geometric design finely balances ease of cut without excessive arm movement for tireless operation.
Top grade, high strength forgings make Vaca tools stronger than other brands. High strength aluminum handles
are lightweight and offer resistance to bending or breaking. Wood handles are made of #1 Hickory.
The extended period heat-treat process used in conjunction with high nickel alloy steel creates maximum toughness
while maintaining the necessary hardness for long tool life.
Our reputation for quality and service in the professional fruit, forestry and tree care industry is unmatched. All
replacement parts are readily available to extend the life of your Vaca tool. Our selection of uncompromised, high
strength materials allow us to offer a limited lifetime warranty.
