This company, which apparently dates back to the 1890s, was acquired by R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Co. early in its existence, and became independent between 1953 and 1957. Cincinnati Electrical acquired Hisey-Wolf Machine Co. in 1949, and in 1962 they took over the Standard Electrical Tool Co (SETCO) line of grinders and buffers. At some point between 1968 and 2007, Cincinnati Electrical Tool Co. merged or co-located with United States Electrical Tool Co. at 5928 Hamilton Cleves Pike Rd. (State Rt. 128), Miamitown, OH.

This company made grinders and buffers. In the early 1900s they also made handheld power tools, including electric drills. The company closed its doors in 2017.
