Arcqdiq Holds Power Tool Workshop

A power tool expert has been appearing at the Arcadia (Calif.) Lumber Co. in the progressive retail yard's latest series of workshops for its homeowner trade. The yard's special promotion and trade-in event continued through March 9. Andy Beckstrom, owner of the yard, who invited woodworking teachers in the area to attend and bring class members, said, "For years now, people have been trading in their old model cars, washers, refrigerators, stoves and even razors on new models. Surveys show that one out of three homeowners have at least one power tool in their workshop and most of these are either small capacity or worn-out models. Our Power-tool Roundup promotion is aimed at getting people to trade in their old power tools on a new multi-purpose workshop."
