Haul Firewood to the House - Easy, every day!

A note just arrived from our very first customer who is in her 60's and still gardens actively...

"Jeri,

Thanks for sending the video. It is so cool. We're still using the originals every day to haul wood to the house this winter. I hope they will be available in the stores around here soon because I have to loan mine out all the time.
-- DS, IA"

Hey DS -

I'm so happy you liked the DIY Network Cool Tools video - that was from the National Hardware Show, and...Thanks for the positive feedback!

Until we get into retail...Just let your borrowing friends know to call me at 713 459 0660, email info@bigslider.com, or order online at BigSlider.com

I appreciate your support and letting all your friends know about us!

Pulling Chris Grundy at the National Hardware Show

"I first saw your product on Cool Tools reviewing the 2008 Hardware Dealers Show, was impressed with ease the small woman moved Chris Grundy around the floor !!" -- PP, CA

BigSlider made pulling Chris Grundy around look easy as it was, and that clip continued to be aired on Cool Tools "On the Move" episode up until August - thanks Cool Tools! And thanks Mr. P for remembering us at BigSlider™ utility movers.

Bigslider in Gainesville FL

Bigslider just got reviewed in the Gainesville Times in Florida.

What this reviewer liked about the product is what a back saver it is. As he said, "The thing I really like about this product is that instead of picking up a heavy object and putting it in a wheelbarrow or carrying it, you just slide it onto the Bigslider and pull it."

He had his wife pull him around on the Bigslider and she had no problem at all!

A posting in the Southeast MI Home & Living Examiner helps to get the word around the nation through local instances of the examiner focused on different communities.

We read it on a page of the site featuring Houston.

Continued exposure like this helps people to see our story and have an opportunity to reap the benefits that Bigslider offers for themselves. Keep up the good work, friends!

Hardware Retailing Magazine, November 2008


Hardware Retailing magazine is just the latest publication to recognize Bigslider™ in its pages.

As is true of other publications, they focused on the simplicity of the tool and its appeal to elderly or people who lift daily as a means of avoiding injury.

We continue to be gratified at the appreciation shown by people who see our product in action!

Thank you, Canada!

Hey Canada --

Thanks for your response to BIGSLIDER being picked as one of fourteen "Hot Tools for 2009" by Canadian Home Workshop magazine (Winter edition, page 21. Three words describe CHW's criteria for their Hot Tools picks: efficiency, accuracy, and ease. We say BigSlider is TOUGH. SIMPLE. EFFICIENT. But we like accuracy and ease, too!

So far we've shipped BIGSLIDER to Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. In fact, our first retail purchaser was Rittenhouse.ca over in Ontario.

Don't know if you get DIY Network's "Cool Tools" program in Canada, but their footage from the National Hardware Show will be aired in the "On the Move" episode through January. Am I the only one who thinks having Cool Tools in the Lower 48 and Hot Tools in Canada is a little backwards?

Well, if you get "Cool Tools" you can see me (all of 130 lbs) pulling Host Chris Grundy around the National Hardware show hall - FYI industrial carpet has about the same drag as driveway concrete. They also shot our receiving Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award, Top 13 Tools for 2008 . WooHoo!

Enough bragging on BigSlider...let's brag on YOU, Canada! You're keepin' us goin' down here in Texas...a BIG THANKS from BIGSLIDER!

Jeri

PS - BIGSLIDER is Made in Texas, USA so there's no GST or PST from what I found on the web.
