Cars not Tools
Hey Everyone ~
I know that this is suppose to be a blog about tools but lately I have not been very excited about tools. Might be because of all of the new cars that have been coming out lately....
There is the new 2013 Dusk Edition Camero, this car is beautiful. It has a Blueish Purple color with a matching blue top and 21" chrome wheels. Then only made this special edition car from August 2012 to December 2012. Halo headlights, special camel leather seats with a special yellow stitching. I know that the local Chevy dealership received two of them.....the RS Convertible and SS Coupe....
The new 2014 Corvette Stingray - this car I could talk about forever. I love the leather seats, the front headlights and brake lights. with 450 hp. It has a ton of new options but has a great streamline look and new feel to it. With the 10 new colors and 3 new wheel styles/colors. Personal favorite.....Yellow with Black rims....I know everyone has to have a favorite - this is mine.
Why am I thinking about cars? Might be because of the cars or maybe I am ready for summer/Rockn Rods. Guess I will have to wait for the Garage Party on March 2 in Sioux City.....We are already working on the silent auction items.
Plus one of the guys is working on his 1946 dodge??? Dont quote me on that - I do know it has been in his family for over 60 years. It has a new paint job but he is deciding on the rims and tires.

Sioux City's First Snow of the Year
Hey Everyone ~
As I am snuggled down for a long winter's nap, wrong story but a good one as we keep getting closer and closer to Christmas and the New Year. In Sioux City on December 19, 2012, we are waiting to see how much snow we will get. We all saw the first couple of flakes in October but no accumulation not like what we are seeing tonight. Even as I sit in silent with the snow coming down, I am thinking about what is going on in the world. I don't need to talk about it, the negativity, we all know what is going on but I am going to talk about I think is the True Christmas spirit, at least for me.
My mom always taught us that Christmas is about giving to others that are less fortunate than we are, it could be as simple as making sure a young child has a christmas gift or a family has food for the hoildays. We always take a name from the salvation army, my mom and little sister always take a little girl and I always take a little boy, it is also away to play with the toys in the stores and drive my mother crazy. I always think about Christmas and Children - for whatever reason they just happen to go together for me.
So what does ToolDepot247.com do for Christmas ~ we have a secret santa, surprise Cherry Coke showing up and a couple of Christmas Trees for everyone's enjoyment. We don't do alot except enjoy the holidays with friends and family.
Going on about what the big seller for Christmas at the stores and online. Pretty much the same things - Milwaukee Heated Jackets is huge. We still have a ton of Red in stock and can get them out to you before Christmas. We are also selling Milwaukee Fuel and Irwin 11R's and hand tools.
We have everything for you in Stock and your enjoyment.
Merry Christmas

The Need for Warmth
Good Morning Everyone!!!
After being in the Caribbean for a week and then in Orlando, Florida for 3 days coming back to a windy cold Iowa is not all it is cracked up to be but I will regrow my Iowa skin (meaning lays and lots of them) I hear everyone talking about our Milwaukee Heated Jackets. Milwaukee is telling us that the New Milwaukee Red Jackets are selling all of the country, well guess what we have RED Jackets in Large, X-Large, 2X and 3X. We are getting a bit lower on the other Milwaukee Jackets but as of right now we have some smaller quantities in stock. These are while supplies last because Milwaukee is running out and we will not be able to get more this season.
We will also will Hi-Vis Jackets (Not Heated), Hi-Vis Gloves and Stocking Hats plus new Hi-Tech Bags with lights and away to plug in your MP3 player while on the job site and it will never have to leave your bag.
Tool Depot is also starting to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas ~ it is just right around the corner. Have you started your list yet? We have and we are dreaming about Milwaukee Fuel Kits, DeWalt Lithium, Makita Polishers and everything else in between.
Have an AWESOME Day!!!!

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.

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

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.
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. :)
