This looks like a company using Trusted Pros to do marketing research. Should this thread be removed?

No, I honestly am not trying to do marketing, we all have preferances being in the business. I have been in construction 17 years and a company owner 2. Trust me I have my preference in tools but I am open to the idea there is better.

1) Home Hardware : it's still Canadian, more personal service from people that know what there talking about, much easier to deal with.

2) American made Dewalt NOT Chinese Dewalt there is a difference.

3) Have both Mastercraft & Dewalt, both great both over 10 years.

4) 30 yr old Delta stationary shaper for making mouldings, no shortage of metal on this.

5) I still use a Lufton measuring folding stick. You can still buy them and they go where tape measures cannot, like inside small holes and cracks.

6) Framing.

7) My dog or a pad lock.

8) No Employees and I Sub contract if required.

9) Sole Proprietorship.

10) Word of mouth or personal flyers delivered by Canada Post to areas you wish to work.
