After Hughes Sr's death in 1924, Howard R. Hughes Jr. took the company over as its sole owner. Later Hughes Co engineers created a tricone bit and from 1934 to 1951 Hughes's market share approached 100 per cent.

In 1972 he took the tool company public and made $150 million in cash the day it went on sale. [1] Hughes Tool Company was established in 1909 as Sharp-Hughes Tool Company when Howard R.
