Gulf Wave
We love companies that produce products for very specific markets. There are so many out there that we’ll never get to them all. However, today we will get to Gulf Wave products. Gulf Wave manufactures custom material handling equipment and fabrication tables right here in the United States. Specifically in Indianapolis, Indiana. It’s not only the professionals who use equipment like this either. Some of us like to tinker on our own small fabrication projects and we can personally attest to the helpfulness of having the proper equipment when doing so. Continue reading

L-Key sets added in 1991 and Ball-Hex tools were added to their lineup in 1995. Continue reading
American Mallard
We love it when we stumble upon something we wished we knew existed before! This is the case with American Mallard for sure. The paint brushes produced by American Mallard are the result of a serious need: ​Riccardo, a professional painter, struggled for 30 years with strained hands and wrists from using traditional straight-handled brushes and rollers. He was determined to find an easier way to paint. We can confirm that the standard style brushes certainly get no great accolades for comfort. Continue reading

We use rakes from Ames and they have always performed flawlessly. Continue reading
