As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Help! We're getting crowded!

To keep up with our growing business, we've stocked up on things. We narrowed our aisles in the warehouse, put rails on the floor for the man-up stations, and invested in all sorts of new equipment including a second set of carousels.

Well, now our warehouse is completely full again, but business dictates that we have what we need in our inventory and could probably use more. So I guess we're at that crossroads once again - do we build more on our lot, get another building elsewhere, or do we look for a fulfillment partner to handle some of this product load?

So far, we're just investing in out-of-warehouse storage and keeping it close for easy use, but as we continue to expand our inventory to better service our customers it is getting to the point that we can't handle it with what we've got.

Thanks to our customers, it seems this problem comes up every couple of years. It's better that we need this type of help than help in getting business, though. Our customers are the best.

Thanks for the problems. They're appreciated.
