    spade bits for drilling joists

    I'll second these ones. We just started to sell them a couple of months ago and I was quite surprised by how many we are selling. Most of our customers seemed to know that they were good before buying them.

    Fitzgerald lighting

    It seems that Fitzgerald may be back in business. We are part of a buying group for independent wholesalers and today we got sent a new set of terms and prices for March 2009. It seems they have moved the south east depot to West Thurrock and Tim Fitgerald is at the helm.
