Year in Review

Hey Everyone ~

I know that it is not New Years but our year has had a huge change, we have not forgotten but have learned to continue forward. It was not talked about much because of the shock of the situation but my father passed away October 15, 2011. So what has happened at Tool Depot and ToolDepot247.com? Not much has totally changed expect my mom has come more into the business and is learning more about the products and has made small changes in the company. We have added a newer website, opened up Tool Depot Spencer and started working on changing of our computer system for the company. 

He was a great business man and a hardworker but he was a better father in teaching us how to work hard, put our family first and that without Respect for each other we had nothing to contribute on a whole. I started working at The New Sioux City Iron Company when I was 10 years old, I worked in the warehouse boxing up nuts and bolts - some days I hated being in the warehouse, I wanted to be outside with my friends riding bikes or swimming but now I appreciate all the lunches of peanut butter and jelly, chips and nutty bars that I got to spend with him. I spent 23 years with him, working with him everyday. Yes somedays are harder than others but in all I got a wonderful education about the business and the drive to continue forward from one of the BEST teachers I could ever have.

What is next in our plans? More of the same really. Finishing up with Harvest, the start of another woodworking season with new products at the stores and online.

In the stores we have already added exotic carving woods, added new clamps to our inventory and new items from Kreg Tool. We also have the new Milwaukee M12 Jackets instock and we are selling them in all of the Tool Depot locations and online.

Talk to you later

New Heated Jackets

Hey Everyone

As suumer comes to a close, the kids start back up at school, the leaves start to change and we (especially in the midwest) start thinking about warm clothing. We think about jeans not shorts, sweatshirts with our t-shirts and of course....Jackets. Do we spend the money to get a new coat or will our old coat work just fine? Most people go with the 2nd option unless they are into the new coats that have all of the bells and whistles....

You are now asking what is this girl talking about....Well let me tell you what is new in My World of Power Tools and Clothing.

How about a M12 Heated Jacket? What are you talking about you say. We will have instock in the next couple of weeks. Red, Camo, Black and Hi-Vis (ANSI Class III) in a M12 heated jacket for the guys that like to Hunt, Football or anything else that takes place outside and you need to stay warm.


I am personally looking forward to a large black jacket for my trip to Iowa City (Go Hawks) to stay warm at the Nebraska - Iowa game!!!!

These new jackets with an USB adapter can charge your cell phone or with the m18 adapter, you can stay warm upto 18 hours. THAT IS JUST CRAZY!!!

We will have in stock - Large, X-Large, 2X-Large and 3X-Large Jackets but in the Hi-Vis jackets upto 4X-Large.

p.s. The older jackets in Red and Camo are on Sale online and in-store!!!  Get one NOW!!!!

July 2012 - HOT DEALS!!!

Hey Everyone - With it being extremely hot outside people are want to be indoors as much as possible, which is why others are having Christmas in July (personally I am not for this at ALL). So, we at ToolDepot247.com and the Tool Depot Stores are promoting with our specials as Hot Summer Days.....Corny Yes but I feel that we should only celebrate Christmas in December.

So what is part of this promotion:

1) Reminder that we have Gatorade - 2-1/2 gallon packets in 5 different flavors (we added this on Friday, July 13 to the website and is available in all the stores).

2) Tape Measures - everyone has many tape measures from 10' to 40' - chrome cases or plastic, hi - vis to normal, plus you have to have some type of stand out. Tool Depot is overstocked on some we have lowered the price on them to August 15....need the supplies for the jobsite just like the kids need the pencils for school...

3) New Milwaukee M18 Fuel Drill Driver with Hammer mode Kit and M18 1/4" Hex Impact Driver Kit - we are giving away a Free matching Battery to the Kit that you purchase (this goes to July 31, 2012).

4) DeWalt 18 Volt Trade-In will be ending July 31 - Come in a purchase the 2 pc Combo Kit and receive $100.00 off - Normally it is $299.00 now $199.00.

5) We also have a DeWalt 12" Recon Miter Saw in Stock for $249.00  -  If you purchased this new it would be $299.00 it is a great tool for the weekend warrior or the guy that needs it 3-4 times a year. Why you ask, because we can get parts for it. What people dont realize when they buy a private label tool and then it breaks you can't get parts for it and that tool is now ready for the garbage. When you purchase a tool from Tool Depot, we have the resources to purchase the parts to fix your tools to be like new again.

Have a Great Weekend.
Happy Shopping

Spring Break Going into Summer

Hey Everyone

After taking a vacation over the pond....I headed back from the fun with to new promotions and new tools from Milwaukee Electric Tool, DeWalt and Makita.

(Yes this is a picture of the Eiffel Tower that I did take on my last night in Paris, France).

We just received the NEW Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/4" Impact Driver Compact Battery Tool Kits. We started shipping these out to customers that had preordered them from ToolDepot247.com on Friday, June 8, 2012. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOncukLLsVw&list=UU3dc-rblU34e6AhSWHInPMg&index=1&feature=plcp

Above is a YouTube video between the Milwaukee Fuel and the Makita Brushless Motor.....Something everyone needs to see.


Milwaukee is also doing a trade-in on the M12 Tools - you can receive $25 or $50 off per Tool.....see stores for details.

That is it for now.

Hey Everyone....

What is new for April? The tool shows are over and were a wonderful success!!! The vendors, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, Festool, Jet, Makita and all of the others that joined us for 3 different shows in 3 different weekends in March - showed off their newest products.

For example: Milwaukee showed off the newest tool technology the M18 brushless motor, DeWalt is bringing out a new 20 volt brushless impactor, Irwin has a 24" and 48" lighted level - talk about something for everyone. Plus everything else that goes on in March. March Madness and Nascar Races.....

So onto April. What is going to be new?

To be honest I am not really sure....I'm still waiting for some of that news myself.

P.S. Watch for more information in the stores and watch for some new signage, it's going to look great!!!

Hey Everyone

We have been having a crazy March in Sioux City, LeMars, Sioux Falls and Spencer....Who would of thought that we (with our crazy Iowa weather) would of been having a 68-88 degree weather. It is nice to think that spring is coming to our neck of the woods but makes you think about what type of summer will be having. 

So what do we do to get ready for Spring.....first we pull out our Red shirts so we resemble  the Robins that back in town. Second - we pull out our specialty cars...I personally prefer the Makita 9227CX3 Polisher to work on my everyday car (Black 4-door Wrangler) or the specialty cars in the garage......anything from the 1967 Chevelle Super Sport to the 2008 yellow vette!!!

Third we work on the gardens, cutting down trees....I still have the old Milwaukee  Nicd Hatchet Sawzall because it is still like brand new and we have 6 batteries for it.  Also while working in the garden comes fixing the fences. Which means pulling out a cordless drill (Bosch, DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee) for me it means my M12 Milwaukee Pocket Driver does the trick.


Lately in the news, people have been talking about Pink Slime and bad mouthing Beef Products Inc. which is a locally owned company and that shops locally to support others in their community. We at The New Sioux City Iron Company and Tool Depot support BPI in fighting the negative comments from people that are uninformed about what BPI does to keep friends and family safe when eating products that are Lean Finely Textured Beef. We in the Siouxland area have been eating this products for many years. People need to listen to the company and not the lies that the media is spreading.

To a warm Spring and to finishing your products so all can enjoy summer to their fullests!!!!

Busy Summer

Hey Everyone

We have been crazy in Sioux City - from the river flowing the Siouxland Area, working on the new store in Spencer, IA and of course the NEW ITEMS across the board.

Since the summer has now turned into Fall, we have the start of College Football, NFL, Hockey plus new DeWalt 20 Volt Tools, New Woodworking tools (PSI, Woodpeckers, and the additions of Festool to the Sioux City Tool Depot.

First about Spencer, Iowa:

We have all of the shelving put up and are starting to send up transfers with all of the items that we stock from the Sioux City Stores, we are going to have a mixture of The New Sioux City Iron Company and Tool Depot.

We have put up the outdoor signs on the front of the building but we are not open YET!!! I will let you know when the store is open but it is different from Sioux Falls, LeMars and Sioux City - It has more open spaces, a larger Cordless Section and we are changing up the Tool Wall and mixing in the tools with the Accessories.

Second (MY FAVORITE) New Tools:

DeWalt has came out with a WHOLE new program - 20 Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Tool Kits (there are no bare tools available yet but dont worry we will get this taken care of for you). We just placed the order with DeWalt and I am not sure how soon we will be getting these items but they are on their way.

Milwaukee M12 Camo and Red Jackets Kits - We have them in STOCK!!!!! Camo Jackets we have in Stock - Large, X-Large, 2X-Large and 3X-Large, in Red Jackets we have Large, X-Large, 2X-Large and 3X-Large. These are while supplies last because I am not sure how many more I can get more from Milwaukee. :)

So back to Football - I dont follow the NFL or hockey but I LOVE Big 10 Football - Especially Hawkeye Football (dont worry my DeWalt reps, We will not rub in the fact you would rather wear Red hurt too much).

Crazy Summer Days

Hey Everyone

I know that it has been a while since I have been on here to talk about anything. We have gotten in a ton of new items. Some of these new items are because of the flooding going on in the Siouxland Area, others because it makes sense to stock based on the brand etc.

So what is going on here in the Siouxland Area:

First off flood stage is 30 feet and the river has been holding steady at 34.25 to 34.50 feet. That is alot of water in Sioux City. It has messed up the summer around here by having no river to boat on, no biking trail to bike on and it has truely messed up the golf courses along the river. This is a historic flood but not as bad at the Sioux City Flood of 1952 or 1953.

So what new products does the Tool Depot's have in stock?

1) Koshin Semi-Trash Pumps - 2", 3" and 4"
Koshin Trash Pump - 3"

2) Abbort Rubber - 20' Suction Hose and 50' Discharge Hose
We also have the stringers, couplers and adapters - all of the pieces that go with the Pumps

3) We have had Generac Generators for a while now but we added Generac Pressure Washers

4) The coolest thing is DeWalt Hand Tools....We have tape measures, hammers, wrecking bars, knives, chalk reels and chalk, Hacksaw and Saws, and the new Tool Boxes. These are pretty cool....my favorite is the 2 part box the top looks like a sawzall case and the bottom looks like a plumbers tote.

This weekend in Sioux City, we are having a major event - Sioux City Rock n Rods - this event will be awesome....Drag Racing on Water Street, Show n Shine around 400 cars, Free Concerts and Food Vendors (funnel cakes, cotton candy and hot dogs). This is the First Time ever for this event - come 1 come ALL.

We are also working on the new store in Spencer, Iowa....It is the dog days of summer.

Festool Kapex Miter Saw

Hey Festool Lovers

After the long holiday weekend, we are back working and getting ready for a hot relaxing summer. So that means I am ready to talk about what we learned about in Omaha, NE and Festool.

Starting with Festool's Kapex Sliding Compound Miter Saw with a selling price of $1300.00 - this thing is awesome!!!

This mitersaw can cut a piece of wood as thin as a piece of paper.

These pictures are the sample I took away from the class.

The kapex has a ton of awesome features, starting with the fact it only weighs 47lbs, which means it is easy to take it to and from the jobsite to work with. Also instead of having to set the saw up in the middle of the room (which means it could be in the way for others that are also working on the project) You can place it up against the wall and still do the compound cuts, because of the forward moving head.

The dust collection on the Kapex is about 91% best in class for efficiency and should be used with a 36mm hose and the Festool CT26E or CT36E Dust Extractor.

So what can this saw cut, that is why people purchase Miter Saws to begin with. It has a 10-1/4" blade with a 30mm arbor but it has the capacity of a 12" miter saw. It can cut a piece of 6-5/8" crown nested 1" thick with a 4-3/4" base with a 50 degree left miter and a 60 degree right miter.

So how is this part of the Festool System?

The Systainer Box #1 (497563) lines up with the base and can be used to hold longer boards with cutting. Also the Kapex is designed to integrate with the Festool Multifuction Tables.

There is a cool accessory that comes with the Kapex. It is the Miter Fast Angle Transfer Device. (494370)

What does this item do?

It copies and transfers angles to the Kapex accurately. The center of cut line if specially coated for alignment using the dual laser system captures inside and outside corners. Aggressive locking mechanism helps to maintain settings.

You can't believe what this item is capable of doing, it is totally awesome!!! So would I purchase this item.........YES, I WOULD. :)

Festool

Hey Everyone

I know I am suppose to be writing this blog about the differences in Festool Tools, but this is even better. After many lists on the different items that I would like to bring in, a list for each type of tool, I started noticing a pattern......

We have old tool numbers.

This is awesome news for Everyone that wants to get into Festool System. We are going to close these out and bring in the new items. These tools have not been used but have been hanging up as display units. We have limited quanities on hand of Dust Extractors, Circular Saws and all the other Festool items and it is First Come First Receive.......

Example - CT22 Dust Extractor - 583366 - WAS $454.50 - NOW $ 409.507


- DF500Q Jointer - 574283 - WAS $825.00 - NOW $ 742.50


- Cordless C12 MICD Drill - 564178 - WAS $470.00 - NOW $266.25

Remember these are examples of a just small selection of items that we are closing out. Please let us know if you have any questions. These items are also available in the stores at these prices.

Festool Rocks and is AWESOME

Hey Everyone

After 2 days of training on Festool, not only am I excited about what I saw and learned but excited on why we brought Festool into our Tool Depot stores.

So a little history about Festool. Festool was started in Germany in 1925 by 2 families. One of the same families owns it today with a granddaughter getting ready to take over in the next couple of years. In 1997, Festool was brought to the United States by an importer but in 2000-2001 Festool took it back in house and opened it up the the US Market.

So why would a person want to purchase Festool? There are 7 unique reasons to go with a Festool Tool. Here they are (I LOVE FESTOOL and WHAT I LEARNED IN OMAHA).

1) System Design - Everything works together with Festool, the tools, of course work but don't forget about the accessories and did you ever thing about using the systainer boxes. Trust me I will explain this.

2) Economic Efficiency - Cuts set up time by 73%, I will explain....

3) Service Life - 1st year - Festool pays for shipping both ways if something goes wrong with the tool

2nd and 3rd year - Consumer pays the freight to Festool's repair site in Indinia and Festool pays the freight back to the customer.

If the tools goes into Festool they look over the entire tool to make sure nothing else it wrong with it, that means it is life getting a BRAND new Tool back.

4) Specialization - Festool Tools and accessories are Job Specialized to the jobs they say can do.

5) Innovation of New Tools - They don't just reinvent the wheel, if the Tool does the job it is suppose to do and they can't see how to redo it they don't. ex....Fein Multimaster Tool - they can't see a way to make it better, so they let Fein corner the market. They make a tool better for a certain application where they see needed.

6) Ergonomics - they make tools better for the people that are using them. Like the pressures on a persons wrist, so they are not over stressed.

7) Environment - make the tools safer, like the brake on the Kapex Mitersaw
- keeping work areas cleaner with the Dust Collection

I will post more about what I learned after I process the last two days, I have a TON of information!!!!! We will also be adding items to our Festool Line-up and will be doing demostrations in Sioux City and Sioux Falls!!!! I had a blast in Omaha, with Steve (trainer), the Tool Depot staff and the 14 others in the class. Steve has a ton of knowledge and knows how to relate it for us to share with others.

P.S. I don't know which tool was my favorite - I think I love them all.

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:

So what is next for us...

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

He was in Omaha, Ne at the Qwest Center....Uncle Kracker and Billy Currington was with him and helped him celebrate his birthday. Also had to check on the Tool Guy's car that is in a million pieces!!
