Festool and Elton John

Hey Everyone

So what does Festool and Elton John have to do with Tool Depot? First, Elton John is coming to Sioux City for a performance on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 (I will totally post pictures after the concert). Then on Wednesday, May 4, 2011 - I head to Omaha with 2 other Tool Depot Dudes for a Festool Training Classes on Thursday and Friday.

So what does this Festool Class hold, I dont really know except they are going to show us the best uses for the tools.

I will keep you upto date on what we will be doing and what we learn - Can't wait to pass it on to you.

DeWalt 14" Diamond Blade

Hey Everyone

We have received the new DeWalt 14" Diamond Blade, DW8500, this blade is the new technology for the abrasive chopsaw blades. You ask why would I want to change from an abrasive blade to a diamond blade that has a manufacturer advertised price of $249.00 + Free Freight on ToolDepot247.com - well here is your answer.

This 14" Diamond Blade cuts pipe, steel studs, angle iron, rebar and threaded rod. It makes use of the new advanced brazing technology and premium diamond grit lasts more than 100 times the standard chopsaw abrasive blades.

The steel blade core provides the constant cutting depth capacity and stability of a solid core and the exposed diamond matrix allows the blade to cut concrete, plastic, fiberglass, rubber, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel and ferrous metals.

So at $4.95 a chopsaw blade multiplied by 100 wheels - $495.00 - this is just easy math, this blade is awesome and easy to use. It can also be used on any Chopsaw, Milwaukee - MIL6176-20, MIL6180-20, DeWalt - D28715 and Makita - 2414NB.

I hope you enjoy our video, we showed the outside salesmen at The New Sioux City Iron Company/Industrial Tools n Machinery, the new blade in the warehouse. They have a sample of the blade with them, ask them to see it.

This is NOT recommended with the Cold Cut Chopsaws - these run at a faster RPM.

Enjoy Everyone

April Showers

Hey Everyone

We have had one exciting week, starting last Saturday we had the first series of storms go thru the Siouxland area, not so good was the torando that touched down in Mapleton, Iowa.

Our thoughts and prayers are with that community.

I personally on that scary, beautiful stormy night was in Sgt Bluff with friends playing Ping Pong. Yes, us Iowans still play ping pong for fun. We even have a golden paddle that gets passed on year to year. I was called by my mom about the storm and let everyone know that the sirens were going off and we need to head to the basement. We were all safe.

So the Milwaukee trade-in is over, we turned in our Used, Broken tools that we got from our Customers to the Milwaukee rep and turned in 292 tools - not too shabby!! :)

Here is a picture of the tools in barrels after being counted:

Here is a couple of pictures of the Milwaukee rep's car loaded with the tools:

1. We are working on the floors in Spencer, Iowa for the new store

2. The new items are coming in from Milwaukee

Milwaukee 5-3/8" M18 Metal Circular Saw

Milwaukee 3/8" M18 Right Angle Drill with Compact Batteries

3. We will be going down to Omaha for a Festool Work shop the first week of May

4. The DeWalt 12 Volt Trade-in is STILL going on until the end of the month

5. This week we are offering the

Hope that everyone has a safe and fun weekend - Nascar is also in Talledega on Sunday with KPTH replaying the race from last week tonight at 10:00 pm since we all missed the night race because of the storms in the area.
