Smarter by design.

One on the great parts of my job involves spending time at our offices in Durban and Cape Town.  What I can say for certain is that these are way nicer places to be in during the cold dry winters of my home town Jo'burg. Durban was nice and sunny, Cape Town had a bit of rain, but was pleasantly warm!  I think I need to schedule more winter times there, starting again next week!  I really don't enjoy the cold.  While in Cape Town, I had installed a router, but just couldn't get it connecting to the other Pc's.  The long of the short is I had to cut the connectors off the cable and re-crimp the connectors, and voila, it all worked, and I thought pre-made cables were the way to go. 

Our friends at are never satisfied with their product range and we often get updates, the new MAGMA range of toolbags really looks smart, combined with the success of the previous version, we already have these bags flying off the shelves.  It changes the impression of your brand, for yourself or your technician servicing a clients equipment, the client can see you are a professional outfit by the tools and in this case (no pun intended) your toolcase.

They have the ever popular Rucksack in their new range, they also do toolbelts, tool vests & Gel knee pads (still to be released). We are updating their new products fast and furiously on our site, keep an eye out for more from their range.

Another thing I get to do at work is spend time on Youtube (the boss encourages it, ha ha), I have found some really informative videos pertaining to our industry, I have loaded the link on our site, and you just might find something of interest there too.  We have been supplying the Xuron range of precision cutters for some time now, but I'm not sure if you are aware they have a lead retaining clip which stops the component leg or similar from flying across the room and sticking in your colleagues eye, look Here. From the stats on the last email that went out, there was much hilarity on  Harry and Paul 40...45 years (more so than anything else I had to say.) I have found some real pearlers.  If you, like me, are having issues with Apples and Blackberries, you will enjoy this have a chuckle on me.

Our various catalogues are still easily accessible.

Eye catching.

We have had quite an action packed couple of weeks, the World cup has almost come full circle, lest we mention SA's most hated ref Bryce Lawrence (what a &*&#*^), The Dalai Lama has been snubbed and now the death of the Apple Icon-  Steve Job's. Incidentlally we have found a great video of a speech he gave in 2005, it's a must watch. It's only had 11 miillion views so far.

We have just redone our BEE rating and we are very happy to announce head office obtained a level 2 contributor status, with all the other offices level 3.  Should you need a copy of the certificate please don't hessitate to go here
