    Metal Fabricating Tools

    Hi,
    My name is Bruce Van Sant and I am the owner/founder of www.trick-tools.com Looking to be more involved in welding circles to learn more about the needs and challenges of welders and to see if we can be of assistance. My background experience is mostly with metal fabrication related to race car and motorcycle building. Have built my own 200mph nitrous injected Pro Modified Suzuki dragbike and have worked with many fabricators over the 19 years that Trick Tools has been around.

    Thanks!

    Love your stuff. Only thing I could recommend is finding a way to bring the cost down. Reason being, guys like me always need the tools, but with higher tool costs, end up making our own instead of buying. I would rather buy it, but usually can't justify the high initial cost for an experimental tool, and they are all experimental before you learn their ins and outs.

    Thanks for asking, we represent over 75 brands and sell Made in the USA as our first priority. We do build some tools ourselves under the brands MetalAce and Trick Tools. We do NOT import cheap stuff and put our name on it. We back up our tools with a NO JUNK GUARANTEE. We do have some imported brands but only if there is good service and parts availability. Thanks for the comments everyone, not trying to be pushing sales here but love metalworking and fabrication and learning!
