Volume 85


Hi Guys,

With the mild winter we just had, there is a definite increase in remodeling activity and that's a positive outlook for Spring. We've just started booking for September which is at least one month ahead of schedule.

Spring for me means it's time to clean the shop and my company storage shed from all the crap that we threw in there, not wanting to deal with, over the winter. It also means it's time to open my screened porch. I'm sitting here right now typing this and wishing I lived in San Diego so I could sit outside all year long. Maybe someday. . .  but for now I'll just enjoy this while it lasts.

It's a bummer that the Bruins lost for us Boston fans, but we do have some cool new tools to share with you. The articles in this newsletter are all tool related but there's even more stuff for you tool junkies. We'll be in Atlanta this week at a tool event for The Home Depot. Be sure to follow our social media feeds (Facebook, Instagram) for instant updates.

We'd like to hear from you, reply to this email with any comments of feedback. Have a GREAT week!
~ ROB
