Hi Guys,


Summers half way over - can you believe it? We have a few new members to the Tool Box Team that we will be introducing in the next few weeks. This week I'd like to welcome Mike Valente. See his tool review on the Bosch Hammer Drill below.

We want to congratulate the Build America Team. They called me Thursday night, just before dark, as they were finishing the Pirate Ship's Playhouse - "crows nest." [Photo above] The plans on paper wern't working out, so they improvised and wanted to know if what they did was ok.  

It was MORE THAN OK! They improvised, adapted and dealt with "field conditions," to make their project stronger and better. Well done guys, the #TBBCrew is proud of the projects your pumping out! 

The #BAM2017 crew are now midway through their 6-week journey to build accessible recreation projects are camps for kids with disabilities.   

Here is the listing of the 6 week journey for the Build America  #BAM2017 team, they are currently in Colorado. 
1. Woodlands Foundation, Wexford, PA; 
2. Camp Wawbeek, Wisconsin Dells, WI; 
3. Rocky Mountain Village, Empire, CO; 
4. Down Home Ranch, Elgin, TX; 
5. Camp Little Giant, Makanda, IL; 
6. Camp Discovery, Gainesboro, TN.


Good luck guys, be safe and remember, "If It's Worth Doing.....Do It Well!"

Rolgear is the Most Innovative and SMOOTHEST Ratcheting Screwdriver we've seen!!!

I recently came across the Rolgear screwdriver which has a unique and innovative gear mechanism. What I mean by that is that it’s completely silent, and there is no lost motion, unlike a geared screwdriver where you have to click through the gears.

The Rolgear screwdriver has a super smooth action, its forward and backward motions offer silent ratcheting, and a center position, locks the driver for adjustment work.
