Stanley Black and Decker recently announced the impending sale of their Delta Brand to Chang Type Industrial Co. Ltd (TOTY). TOTY is a Taiwanese company that currently produces many benchtop tools for Stanley Black & Decker, Craftsman and Ryobi.

Tools Plus and Delta have had a long standing relationship dating back to the early 1980′s. Eric Savelle, President of Tools Plus, has been in discussions with the current and new management team, including Bryan Whiffen who will help head this new manufacturing and distribution facility located in Anderson County, South Carolina.

Eric commented “Our talks went really well and I feel that this progression of events is a good thing for the Delta Woodworking machinery brand. While other retailers have seemed to push away from Delta lately, I believe in the Brand (and its massive count of loyal Delta customers dating back approximately 3/4 of a Century) and expect the future to be bright. The fact that they reached out directly and (besides announcing the Sale) asked very good questions and listened to my answers just enforces my expectations that this new ownership is the best news to come out of Woodworking Machinery-land in years.”

Chang Type Industrial Co. will be investing over $3.6 million, according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce, in this facility and is expected to create 40 jobs which is all good news for not only South Carolina but the United States. The official press release advised:

“The new facility will allow Delta Power Equipment to continue its tradition of providing top-notch woodworking equipment to our customers. We look forward to establishing our new operations in Anderson County,” Whiffen says in the press release. “South Carolina provided us with the positive business environment and market access we were looking for when deciding where to locate. We appreciate all the support we have received from state and local officials.”

Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads

Jan 7, 2011

Kompressor Pads Caress your car’s every curve!

Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads with hook and loop backing are perfect for your favorite polishers and buffers. Kompressor pads have a slotted face which conforms to the curves and contours of your car giving you more surface contact than is available with other pads. Lake Country manufactures these pads to have a compressed “Sweet Spot” holding polish longer along with extending the life of your pad. Get the best results possible by using Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads!

If your car is worth buffing and polishing then chances are it has sexy curves. Standard pads can do an ok job of polishing curved surfaces, but Lake Country Kompressor Pads are engineered to caress these curves, working the paint evenly across the whole surface. Flat standard pads don’t adjust to the various contours of your car, over corners and areas like the fenders and bumpers you need a pad that will adjust to the shape of the car. Kompressor polishing pads glide over and shape themselves to the contours of your car preventing the polish or wax from flying all over, ensuring more even results.

Top Quality Construction.

To make the Kompressor Buffing Pads Lake Country starts with some of the highest quality foam in the industry. This premium foam is shaped in to a convex pad and then is slit horizontally and vertically. When affixed to a backing plate the convex polishing pad compresses at the center producing a the “sweet spot”.

Advantages to this Sweet Spot include:

  • The greater density towards the center holds polish on the pad longer than flat pads do.
  • The Sweet Spot also extends the life of the pad by reducing foam breakdown.

Advantages to the Slotted Pad Face are:

  • The slots allow the foam to constantly adjust to even the smallest surface contours providing a superior even finish.
  • All of those tabs made by the slots greatly increase the usable surface area of Kompressor pads, holding onto more polish and also getting greater contact with the surface being polished.
  • Slotted pads are easy to clean.
