I am the original owner and founder (now semi-retired) of Tip Tools (TP Tools) in Canfield, Ohio and wanted to advise that we will not be setting up our display at Spring Carlisle next month. We were hit hard by Covid-19 and lately have been experiencing severe shortages of steel and other components required to build our abrasive blasting cabinets and HVLP Paint Spray Systems. Last year
the spring Carlisle show was postponed into the summer and we did not attend. This year it is scheduled in late April, but unfortunately we will not be there, after over 40 years attending that show.

Sorry.

Fred

Hang in there Fred - and sorry you have to miss it. I know everyone needs to make a living, but staying safe is also important. My brother just came down with a case this week...

I love my TP Blast Cabinet that is now about 20 years old!

I haven't been to Spring Carlisle in years...wondered how it might be. The Chrysler show last year was at best...a shadow of itself.

Fritz..I've had one of you cabinets for likely 20 years. Great products and customer service.

Agreed I have had my TP cabinet for 22 years and it still works like new. Looking at possibly getting another bigger one next trip to canfield.

Hang in there, Fred!

I went to Fall carlisle last year with a friend. He's only been to one other Carlisle with me. It was two years ago. He loved it. Now he feels it's not worth going to more than once every few years. He's the kind of guy that goes to a swap meet with a set list of things he NEEDS to get and if he doesn't get them all, it's a wasted day. I can go and just enjoy being there.

:sad:

I have one of your blast cabinets that I bought from you in the 80's. I use it all the time and it has been a very valuable piece of equipment in the shop.

Hopefully things will get back to normal here soon. I’m just around the corner from TP Tools and an owner also of a cabinet and a Champion compressor....love em! If you other members get a chance to visit on a Saturday, the car display is really nice.

Well for me, if spring or fall Carlisle is on then my **** is there. A lot of fun just to be there, stock up on supplies, see whats going on, catch up with vendors that are there every year. Looking forward to spring Carlisle this year

I doubt you won't be the only vendor not going, I hope your company bounces back quickly.

I have enjoyed owning one of your cabinets for over 30 years.

Last spring and fall were the first ones I've missed in I think 20 years. Don't think I'll do spring this year either, perhaps Fall. I did make Trucks last year. My brother purchased a cabinet from 'you' at the show many years ago.

Another owner of one of your cabinets(960) and have been to the store several times. Only regret is I didn't get a bigger one. Wish your company the best!
