How to Buy a Tool the Old Fashioned Way!

goshen-construction-002.jpggoshen-construction-001.jpgWe here at Trade Tool Innovations experienced a first this past weekend!  We sold our first concrete screed from our shop!  We have been plugging away in the past couple of years, advertising on the internet, making a few phone calls, and don’t get me wrong… we’ve shipped many out!  They have gone up north to Olympia Washington and as far south as Tortola (in the British Virgin Islands).  Everytime we ship a concrete screed out, we put a little pin in our map on the wall.  Over the years it has been exciting to see where they have shipped out and to hear from all those who purchased one.  We had, however, not had a “customer at the door” yet… except for our prototype that Dean Mercil purchased after trying it out for us:).

Back to the story…

It was a snowy Saturday morning in March… the phone rang… it was Mike from Torrington Wyoming, in town for the weekend.  “Can I come over and see your screed”?  He asked.  “Sure” I said.  And the rest is history.

Trade Tool Innovations is about “boxing” your tool for you… not “big box”.  We enjoy staying in touch with those individuals and companies that purchase our screed.  It is a different business model from most companies out there. 

We give Goshen County Construction a big hello and wish them well in all their concrete adventures.  More than that… we LOVE hearing how things are going!
