Since the invention of such simple machines as the wheel, the wedge and the screw, human beings have been searching for ways to do it bigger and faster.
For more than 2,000 years, people have relied heavily on these simple machines and elbow grease to get the job done. And while we often hear the expression, “Things were built to last back then,” it also took an unimaginable amount of time to build anything.
Tools have come a long way. Whether it's a small business owner who finds his favorite brands at a local hardware store or an industrial contractor purchasing equipment from commercial grade sources, we see the role that power tools play in all of our commercial lines.
