About Michael Springer

Craftsman and former tool magazine editor Michael Springer specializes in testing tools and covering the tool industry for construction and woodworking professionals. Based in Boulder County, Colorado, but going wherever the story takes him, Michael crisscrosses the country yearly visiting tool manufacturers and industry personalities and attending trade shows. He also treks to major manufacturers in Europe to stay apprised of the newest tool developments and track the design influences that shape many construction tool products long before they reach our shores. When not out sleuthing or at the shop or job site running the kilowatts through the latest power tools, Michael enjoys unplugging and getting his hands on his collection of antique and new wood shaping tools. He enjoys nothing more than a day of rustic woodworking, starting with a log and making the chips fly with chain saw, axe and adze.

From the latest in job site drone surveillance of your employees and subs, to a plain old jackhammer (albeit now equipped with worldwide-enabled GPS locating hardware), this is the place to reset your knowledge of the current state of construction tools and equipment. And unlike other expositions, the World of Concrete features a huge outdoor area so it’s the best place to get your hands on many of the bigger and messier tools and try them out. In this, its 44th year, the WOC show had over 60,500 registered attendees and featured more than 1,500 exhibiting companies. Of course I can never see all of it, but here are some of the highlights.

“REDefining” Metal Cutting with Diablo Blades

“REDefining” Metal Cutting with Diablo Blades

Michael Springer December 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

A quiet revolution has been taking place. A revolution in the way you can cut metal in the shop or on the job site that is. Actually, it’s not all that quiet during the cutting. Pretty loud actually, but it is faster, cleaner-cutting, and more efficient. You know what I mean. After attending Diablo Tools’ latest media event at STAFDA recently, I learned a lot more about their goal of replacing abrasive metal cutting with better methods to make metal cutting easier for the contractor or DIYer alike.
