ISN Show - Part II

Today, just some photos and minimal commentary about the show. Tomorrow I'll post more photos and include some "factoids" from ISN.

The TechShop booth embodied the definition of "cutting edge" (paper-cutting edge that is.)
Waterloo Toolboxes introduced some cool designs. This is their latest on one of the their bigger boxes. I believe Forrest Thompson said they'd be ready to ship by July, 2009 (just 2 days from now).

Just a portion of the Makita booth. In addition to great deals on Makita, they offered a huge flat-screen tv with Blu-Ray DVD to one lucky jobber.

Sam Adams of Clore is shown here, writing orders with one hand, and snapping his fingers to the beat of the loudspeaker with the other.

Chicago Pneumatic featured a tropical theme and rocked it with their very own Steel Drum Guy (not as loud as a Steel Drum Band, but just as fun to listen to. Only thing missing was a Rum Runner.)

Along the hallway leading to the show's entrance, ISN featured various manufacturers' products in these glass cases. I thought it was a very effective way to highlight new products and get the dealers thinking about tools before they even entered the show.

DMT featured knife-sharpening tools.

Sunex expanded their presence. I think their booth was a 40X60 ft. And they had some screamin' deals and cool new products.

It was all about selling tools!
