April - April Fools' Day
On 1st April we introduced the revolutionary Rider Reversa Hand Plane... We genuinely had people phone up to buy this!?

June was the start of Wimbledon and our attempt to tenuously marry a bad pun with a tool related fact!

August - Tsugua!?

When coming up with video ideas for how we could launch DeWALT we thought it would be really fun to have Charlie learn all the names of the DeWALT tools. However, this became quite tiresome after about the 50th take!!
October - Halloween Fright Night
There were some spooky goings on in October with our Skill Centre CCTV picking up some unusual footage!!

After a very long time of waiting to get the shop ready, we finally moved into our new Cardiff Store!
