#Mechanix #Wear® #Gloves

Order Mechanix Wear® Gloves at http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/Mechanix-Wear

Back in 1991, we knew right away we had a good thing going with Mechanix Wear® Gloves. We had no idea what kind of revolution we would start. From the first use of Mechanix Wear® “Original” Gloves by pit crew teams at the Daytona 500, Mechanix Wear® gloves have been the leader in the high performance work glove market. Before we knew it, we had 41 NASCAR® teams asking for our gloves along with just about every other high profile motorsports team in every type of racing!

As a result of the exposure, everyday mechanics, technicians, construction workers, Do-It-Yourselfers, industrial safety, emergency services, and military professionals all benefit from our products.

Every Mechanix Wear® product represents a total commitment to its intended use. We consider everything: fit, feel, function, durability, quality, style and value. There is a lot of dedication and pride in everything we do, and it all adds up to superior performing products for you, our valued customer.

Whether you’re jumping the pit wall at Daytona or just doing a little tune up in the garage, you can have complete confidence that Mechanix Wear® products offer you the best protection in the industry. Mechanix Wear® gloves are for more than just racing, they are for toolboxes everywhere.


 Since our inception in 1991, Mechanix Wear has worked closely with nearly every NASCAR team, developing gloves and other products to significantly improve the safety and performance of pit crews.  Through this close interaction, Mechanix Wear learned how much work and training goes into a successful pit crew.  We soon realized that these crews deserve an annual award to recognize the huge role that a pit crew plays in the success of their race team at the track.

At the beginning of the 2002 NASCAR season, we created and launched the Mechanix Wear Most Valuable Pit Crew (MVPC) Award.  During the racing season, a different crew is selected each quarter as a semi-finalist. At the end of the season, one of the four semi-finalists is chosen as the winner of the award.

To judge the contest each year, Mechanix Wear enlists the help of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crew chiefs. It is our preference to have the MVPC winners selected on consistent performance under all conditions that also factors in race strategy, car repairs and adjustments, weather, and all of the variables thrown at a crew during race day. We believe the crew chiefs are the most qualified people in the sport to analyze these variables and determine the most valuable crew.  On a quarterly basis and at the end of the season, we ask the crew chiefs to vote for the pit crew who contributes the most to the success of their team on race day.

Going into its ninth year, the Mechanix Wear MVPC Award is the longest running and most coveted pit crew award in NASCAR and has gained tremendous respect on pit road. Any team displaying the Mechanix Wear contingency decal on the front fender of their race car is eligible to win. Nearly every team competes in the contest each year, giving the Mechanix Wear MVPC Award one of the highest levels of participation of any annual NASCAR award.

Each quarterly winner during the 2011 season will receive $5000 and recognition during pre-race ceremonies. The winning crew at the end of the season will win $100,000 and an all expenses paid trip to the NASCAR Awards Ceremony this December in Las Vegas to accept their award.

U.S. Manufacturing Rebounds Post Sandy


Manufacturing Factory Gillette




U.S. factory output posted its sharpest increase in nearly a year in November as auto production staged a rebound, while consumer prices slipped, offering cautious optimism for the struggling economic recovery.
A separate report on Friday bolstered the view that a slowdown in manufacturing may have run its course. Factories have bounced back after being held down by Superstorm Sandy, which struck the East Coast in late October.
Despite last month's rise, factory production remained below highs reached earlier this year. Analysts said this subdued recovery and tame price pressures provide ample scope for the Federal Reserve to stay on its ultra-easy monetary policy path.
"This is an economy that still has a lot of slack and upside potential," said Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica in Dallas. "There is a lot of dry tinder out there, the Fed has added to that with monetary policy and we have to get past the fiscal cliff issues to see if the dry tinder catches fire."
The fiscal cliff refers to the $600 billion in deep government spending cuts and tax hikes that will hit the economy next year if the Obama administration and Congress fail to agree on a less drastic plan to reduce budget deficits.
Manufacturing output rose 1.1 percent in November, the biggest gain since December 2011 and a rebound from a 1.0 percent drop in the prior month, the Fed said. It said production was lifted by a surge in motor vehicle output.
Sandy had weighed on overall industrial output in October, but the snapback in November was stronger than economists had expected. Output at the nation's factories, mines and utilities taken together also jumped 1.1 percent after slumping 0.7 percent in October. It was the biggest gain in almost two years.

Boeing Beats the Street, Lifts '12 Guidance


Boeing Headquarters


____________________________________

Boeing (BA) disclosed a 6% dip in third-quarter profits on Wednesday due to higher pension expenses, but the defense and aerospace titan managed to beat Wall Street’s expectations and also raised its full-year guidance.
The markets cheered Boeing’s better-than-expected results and new outlook, bidding the blue-chip company’s shares nearly 3% higher in premarket trading.
Chicago-based Boeing said it earned $1.03 billion, or $1.35 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $1.1 billion, or $1.46 a share, a year earlier. Analysts had been calling for EPS of just $1.13.
Revenue jumped 13% to $20.01 billion, essentially matching the Street’s view of $20.03 billion. Operating margins shrank to 7.8% from 9.7%.
Boeing’s total backlog grew to $378 billion from $374 billion at the start of the quarter, driven by net orders of $24 billion. By comparison, the company posted net orders of $13 billion in the second quarter.
“Strong core operating performance drove increased earnings in both our major businesses, along with higher overall revenues, improved cash flow, and solid earnings per share even as pension headwinds rose," CEO Jim McNerney said in a statement.
The company’s commercial airplanes division generated a 28% increase in third-quarter revenue to $12.2 billion. Deliveries rose 17% year-over-year to 149 airplanes.
Boeing said its defense, space and security sales slipped 4% to $7.84 billion, driven by a 12% tumble in network and space systems revenue to $1.99 billion. While military aircraft sales declined 4% to $3.79 billion, global services and support revenue gained 5%.
"Our Defense, Space & Security business maintained double-digit margins in a challenging environment while Commercial Airplanes continued to build momentum with 787 deliveries and 737 MAX orders,” said McNerney.
Looking ahead, Boeing upped its 2012 EPS view to $4.80 to $4.95 from $4.40 to $4.60 previously. Even the low end of the new range would beat the Street’s view of $4.73.
Management now expects to generate full-year revenue of $80.5 billion to $82 billion, up from $79.5 billion to $81.5 billion earlier. Analysts had been calling for sales of $80.65 billion.
Shares of Boeing rallied 2.69% to $74.78 ahead of the opening bell, putting them on pace to erase their 2012 decline of around 1%.

About Us


Michael Elson 
President 
Light Tool Supply





For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by tools. As a young boy I worked summers packing orders and unloading trucks at my father's tool and supply company. After graduating from college, I immediately went to work full-time for my father and have been in this industry ever since.  Over the years I have learned this business inside and out and have spent many hours using that knowledge to improve the mail order supply business. I have seen that business change drastically over the years. The most dramatic change is from a business based on the paper catalog to one based on products sold via the internet. Subsequently, after many years of experience, I decided to create my own company to do what I know best. Light Tool Supply is now quickly bringing tools to loyal customers at the best prices possible.  I encourage you to use our vast experience as a resource for all your tooling needs.  If you see something on our website that you do not feel is the best price, please feel free to email me directly at michael@lighttoolsupply.com.  I also would like you to email me or my staff with any manufacturer's Part# from our long list of vendors at the bottom of this page for a low price quote. Additionally, do not hesitate to contact Light Tool Supply with any of our competitors' part numbers. It would be my pleasure to cross reference those part numbers with ours and beat their prices! I realize there are many companies to choose from; I hope you will choose Light Tool Supply.

Thank you,
Michael Elson

Husky Tools teams up with MMA Fighter Thiago Alves who won his fight at UFC 124


Thiago Alves wins in UFC 124 with a unanimous decision, 30-27 on all cards against John Howard


Thiago Alves wins in UFC 124 last night and credits Mike Dolce and he "Dolce Diet" for helping him come to the fight ready and at proper weight.  He previously has had some trouble in the past and has shown up for fights looking drained as if trying too hard to make weight.  He has previously stated that he has starved himself for weeks prior to fights to make the 170-pound welterweight division  The "Dolce Diet" seemed to do the trick as Thiago Alves came ready to fight and looked like a beast ready to smash some skulls. 
Last night Thiago Alves picked up a unanimous decision, 30-27 on all cards for the win against John Howard

And Here Thiago Alves is wearing Husky Tools on his shorts.  Husky is now sponsoring this MMA Champ.

If Husky is looking for another person to sponsor how about the President of Light Tool Supply, Michael Elson?  I am ready!  LOL.

Looks like more Tool Companies are sponsoring MMA fighters these days.  It think it is a good match and smart of the big manufactures to take notice.  The latest is Husky Tools and Thiago Alves.  I always love watching Thiago Alves fight.  I am looking forward to seeing him wearing the Husky logo on his shorts.  It most certainly is good for The Tool Industry getting more exposure.  People who buy tools spend money and they also seem to like sports like Mixed Martial Arts.  Good luck Thiago and smart move by Husky picking a talented member of The MMA Community to represent their products.






Husky Tools teams up with MMA Fighter Thiago Alves
DEERFIELD BEACH, FLa. (Dec. 3, 2010) – On Dec. 11, 2010 in Montreal, Canada, Welterweight MMA Artist Thiago Alves will sport the Husky Hand Tools logo on his shorts as he takes on rival John Howard.

Husky Hand Tools aligned itself with Alves because of the similarities in traits between the brand and the fighter:  hard working, diverse and powerful.

“Because of all the upfront hard work and innovative powerful designs, Husky Hand Tools and Accessories continue to deliver reliable performance that helps to make tough jobs easier” said Iron Bridge Tools Karen Gough.  “Just like when you use a Husky Hand Tool, in Mixed Martial Arts success comes by combining power with finesse and reliability; and that is also the winning combination you get with the passionate and committed Thiago Alves.”

Thiago Alves, a native of Brazil and current resident of Coconut Creek, FL has been a winning MMA Fighter for 12 years. With a 22-5-0 record, Thiago a UFC and AFC Veteran, has been King of the Cage, Mass Destruction Champion, Reality Fighting Champion, Shooto America Veteran, 3X Brazilian State Champion Muay Thai, and more.  Alves, a determined and ardent winner overcame a potentially career ending health issue earlier this year,  and through a comprehensive new diet and strengthening workout schedule, Alves is back to top form and ready to win the December 11th match up!

Innovative, Reliable and Hard Working…that Means Husky Hand Tools and Thiago Alves!
