A NEW AND DEPENDABLE AIR TOOL BRAND
...for Professional Mechanics
            Productivity takes many forms.  Ever vigilant to ways of keeping Productivity News readers current, we offer suggestions to improve production methods and practices.  This can include creating awareness of the availability of dependable tools and equipment at lower price points.  Recently we learned that a manufacturer of air tools for many of North America's major brand name tool manufacturers is now offering tools of similar quality under the  ZIPP brand.  ZIPP Group, for years, a major tool and equipment manufacturer for leading OEMs, now supplies a wide range of dependable air tools and equipment at competitive prices.   The proven dependability of these tools and related equipment is expected to make ZIPP a leading North American brand.

        Structured to meet the needs of professional production, maintenance and service center mechanics, ZIPP air tools are categorized into four product sectors; Fastening, Cutting, Surface Finishing and Accessories.  In this issue, we'll focus on Fastening System tools including impact wrenches, ratchet wrenches, screwdrivers and riveters.

        We hope you find this information helpful and we welcome your comments.
