Meguiar’s and Tools-Plus Team Up and Shine On!

Jan 28, 2010

Considered by many to be the first AND last name in automobile polishing, Meguiar’s  has spent the last 100 years perfecting the art of shine and offering consumers the products they need to achieve professional results time and time again. Tools-Plus.com is proud to now be partnering with Meguiar’s to offer you the products that they’ve spent the last century perfecting.

Meguiars: Once 100 Years of Quality Polishing Products

Meguiar's: Over 100 Years of Quality Polishing Products

Meguiar’s doesn’t just offer “car polish”, they offer products that can clean, buff and polish almost any kind of surface. Though their humble beginnings were based around a simple furniture polish, they slowly evolved into the leading producer of the finest automobile polishes on the market; an evolution that actually began with founder Frank Meguiar’s experiences with the first automobiles ever produced. He noticed that most were constructed of wood and actually coated with a finish very similar to a lot of furniture. Frank saw an opportunity and seized it. Thus began Meguiar’s 100+ year ascent to the automobile polish throne.

Frank Meguiar and Henry Ford

Frank Meguiar and Henry Ford

Since day one, Frank’s philosophy was simple: don’t offer the consumers a product that isn’t the best product available. The family-owned company has steadfastly held on to that simple rule throughout the years and it has been the primary reason behind the growth of their loyal, almost cult-like following. Simply put, Meguiar’s products give you the results you’re looking for no matter what type of polisher you use. It will take your 7424 XP Porter-Cable or Flex XC 3401VRG to the next level. No matter how good the polisher is, you need the right polish. And Meguiar’s and Tools-Plus.com have what you need.

The road to the perfect finish consists of both the right tools AND the right polishing products. Once you have your polisher handy and are all stocked up on polishing pads (we love Lake Country products!), get the tunes going and roll up your sleeves because you’re only 3 steps away from the best finish on the block.

Meguiars 105 32 oz Mirror Glaze Ultra Cut Compound

Get started with a bottle of Meguiars 105 Mirror Glaze Ultra Cut Compound. This is the only cutting compound you’ll ever need to remove scratches, swirls, acid rain and other surface imperfections. It contains a unique mixture of super-micro abrasives that can restore even the most dull or damaged paint to its former glory. Even when working with scratch sensitive or extremely hard paint finishes, the 105 Cut Compound will leave you with the kind of finish you dream about at night.

Then move along to a bottle of Meguiars 205 Mirror Glaze Ultra Finish Polish. Designed specifically to be a follow up to the 105 Cutting Compound above, the 205 Mirror Glaze does just what the name implies: produces a glossy, mirror like finish that you could comb your hair in. And don’t plan on spending lots of extra time or effort to get there, this glaze achieves results superior to its competitors in a fraction of the time; leaving you more time to admire your hair in the mirror finish.

You’re so close now you can almost taste it!

Finally, it’s time to grab your bottle of Meguiar’s 34 Mirror Glaze Final Inspection. If they’re confident enough to name this stuff “Final Inspection”, you can trust that it will stand up to just that.  A very quick “mist on” product, this glaze will bring out the deepest, most lustrous shine possible from the paint. Use it right before show, right before delivery, or right before driving by the neighbor’s jalopy. Meguiars 34 Mirror Glaze takes your shine to the next level and brings out the hot rod in almost any vehicle.

Now, take a deep breath…step back, and revel in the shine you’ve created. And get ready to turn heads; because with Tools-Plus.com and Meguiar’s in your corner, you’ll be shining like a new dime.

Powermatic 3520B Lathe Review and Feedback

Jan 4, 2010

They say, “If you build it, they will come“. Tools Plus says “If you price a Powermatic 3520B Lathe within the reach of many, they will come, buy and start turning.” That is exactly what happened when Powermatic teamed up with Tools Plus and others to offer a 15% sale off, an already low price, over Black Friday Weekend 2009.  Don’t be upset if you missed that sale, we still offer one of the lowest prices on the web for Powermatic and Jet products. 

Feedback on the Powermatic Model 3520B Lathe has been unanimously positive and well worth the investment.  If you would like us to post your woodturning artistic creations, just respond to this blog!

Powermatic 3520B Lathe

Powermatic 3520B Lathe

The Powermatic 3520B wood turning lathe represents the finest of quality in lathe construction. Much like lathes of the past, the 3520B is constructed entirely of cast iron. The thick cast iron legs are designed to provide the utmost stability, with a design that has been traditional in lathes for centuries, and also includes provisions for the operator to install a shelf along the bottom span of the legs. The bed is of the highest caliber construction, being a heavy ribbed solid one piece casting, with precision ground ways designed to be the flattest one you can own. Onboard storage is provided beside the headstock for convenient storage of wrenches, knockout bars and other accessories. The headstock, much like the rest of the lathe, is also a solid forged casting, precision machined to hold the spindle and power transmission assembly with absolutely no run out or vibration. The tailstock also features the same excellent construction with built in storage for centers and small parts. A most unusual feature on the 3520B is the built in pattern holder. Two stationary centers hold the piece you wish to copy above ad behind the work piece, allowing you to easily and quickly compare measurements, without having to walk away or turn off the lathe. The 3250B features an up front controller and mushroom style push button switch for convenience and safety in powering down the lathe. The lathe is powered by a 2HP 220 volt TEFC three phase induction motor, with a VFD controller, allowing it to operate from either single phase or three phase power. The VFD gives you the ability not only to run on either phase service, with the benefit of the greater power consistency, starting power, and more rugged construction of three phase motors.

Stanley Works to Buy Black & Decker

Nov 4, 2009

According to Bloomberg Press  reported by Mark Clothier  Stanley Works agreed to buy Black and Decker Corp. for about $3.5 billion, combining the two largest U.S. toolmakers in an all-stock transaction that would reduce costs by $350 million annually.

Black & Decker, which includes brands DeWalt, Porter Cable, Delta and Kwikset door locks, and Stanley, which makes FatMax tape measures and Bostitch nail guns, said they plan to expand profit margins through the transaction. The housing industry contributed to U.S. economic growth for the first time in four years last quarter as tax credits sparked demand for homes and energy-efficient renovations.

The transaction will probably close in the first half of next year, the companies said.
