Tools, software, and support for small manufacturers and independent contractors. Run faster. Price accurately. Win more deals - without enterprise software, enterprise pricing, or an enterprise IT department.
Family owned · Montgomery, TX · Real phone, real people
We’re a holding company that builds the boring tools small shops actually need. The brand exists to keep us honest about who we serve.
We don't sell enterprise contracts. No rip-and-replace. No IT department required. Pricing that fits a one-person shop just as well as a thirty-person floor.
Talk to the people who built it. No tier-one ticket queue. We pick up the phone and we know the products because we made them.
Every product we ship has to do at least one of those three things. If it doesn't, we don't make it.
Trade calculator apps for the field. Work-holding and custom parts for the bench. Custom software for everything else. Each one fixes a specific problem we kept seeing in small shops — they work on their own, they work better together.
Charts, formulas, and starting points for the trades - machining, electrical, welding, concrete - plus the operations stuff every shop runs into. Written by people who do the job.
