As you know from the last blog we were loading the store and working on getting the computers and printers up. Here is the good news if you know what you are looking for the store is open, what this means if you need a new Milwaukee Drill Driver with Hammer mode you can go and get one. If you just want to look around, you will have to wait!!!
Would you like to know when you will have to wait for? Well I could tell you or string you along over the course of the next couple of days/weeks, maybe I will just tell you at the end of the post.
We have been receiving the new V18 and V12 "M" series tools from Milwaukee. We have them all and they are awesome. Starting with the V18 tools, they are so compact, smaller and lighter than the old style tools. They also have a smaller lithium 18 volt battery. It has more run time then the smaller battery that the MIL2601-22 has.
On the V12 - I have to say the new Milwaukee Hacksaw is the cutest, I mean, the most rugged and manly tool I have seen for its size. (:-)~ I also like the V12 compact 1/4" impact driver which we purchased as a Bare Tool, which has no batteries or charger, just the Tool. The Tubing Cutter is pretty cool as well but I dont know how well it will sell. This will be a biggest seller with the plumbers that need to cut pipe for bigger jobs.
I dont get why we have not been selling the Combo Kit with the 12 Volt Drill with the M Spector, (2) Batteries, Charger and Case. The M Spector has a lot more features then the Ridgid and has a longer battery life since it uses the Milwaukee V12 Lithium-ion battery.
Ok ~ I have kept everyone in the dark long enough about the New Store in Sioux Falls, South Dakota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you curious yet???
Ok I will tell you what is going on ~~ From the owners mouth to my ears ~~ He has promised me that on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 the Open Sign will be on and everyone and anyone will be able to go inside and go Shopping. Please dont be disappointed as we still have some work to be done. For example we will be adding 2 more Round Head Nailers to the store, we have not received welding equipment yet or all of the jacks and hoists from Jet Equipment but they are ordered.
Different from our Sioux City Store, we have the full line of Wright Tools,. We have also changed from Freud to CMT USA and Amana Tools for Router Bits. I hope you enjoy your shopping on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 ~ WE open at 7:30 am, if you have any questions ask someone in a red shirt. I will keep you posted on how the day went.
Keep on reading and I will keep bringing you the lastest on what is going on in the Tool World and at Tool Depot!!!
