A Concord Carpenter - Promoting best practices in the remodeling industry

Concord Carpenter Workshop News

Hi Guys,

Todd Fratzel and I just got back from visiting Techtronic Industries [TTI] down in SC.  While there we took a detour and watched Jordon Spieth crush it at the Masters golf tournament.  WOW what a place!!

While at TTI I was especially impressed at the dynamic growth, leadership, strategic innovation and dovetailing teamwork that happens daily.  A very impressive operation indeed.  I have always said that RIDGID was a hidden gem in the tool industry - I wasn't wrong!

If you haven't seen out latest Miter Saw Head-2-Head - you're missing out - see it below.

There's a ton of new content on ACC from reviving your lawn,  controlling remodeling dust, and even how to clean you slow draining shower drain  - -   Read some of our newest articles on ConcordCarpenter here!

Bosch REAXX Table Saw - Flesh Sensing Technology

We have no doubt this will be one of the biggest stories in power tools for 2015!

This is so damn exciting and I had the pleasure of seeing a live demonstration earlier this year at a private media event with Bosch. 

This new saw is sure to put up some serious competition against the SawStop portable table saw that was announced earlier this year as well.
