Commercial Finishing Tools - Christensen Drywall found out Apla-Tech is easier and faster

Jim Nemitz (Project Manager)

"We originally looked at the Apla-Tech system so our guys had something easier to work with. Since we're a large commercial company, our workman's comp claims have always been an issue. The guys were going home beat up and tired at the end of the day. Sometimes they were not even able to work the next day. Since we have invested in Apla-Tech tools, every process became easier. From the filling of the taper and not having to mix a dozen buckets in the morning and lug them around all day. Now the guys roll the pump back to the mixing station and add to it. To the running angles, now we're getting 15 out of a Cannon full instead of 5 out of the box. Also, were not stopping to hand pump our tools full every time we turn around. My men are going home happy and not beat up at the end of the day. The fact that we have picked up speed now came as an added benefit."

Pat Blodgett (Finisher)

"We would never be able to do as much work in a day as we're doing with Apla-Tech tools. After a couple of hours pushing those old tools we were tired. When we used the boxes on these stand up joints, trying to reach the ceiling height was an issue. Now it's effortless. Since we've started using these tools, we're flying through these big jobs and working a lot easier than we ever have before."

Haugerud Painting & Drywall - Harmony, MN

Paul Haugerud

"I started in this business using knives and pans only, then went to the boxes. Now I'm using the best thing out there, Apla-Tech. Normally we had 3 people tunning boxes, now we have 1 person running Apla-Tech tools. You may want to have a second person there just so the other guy has someone to talk to. Thank you for putting everyone's dream tool into reality!"

Renner Drywall - Louisburg, KS

Jodi Renner - Wife and Renner Drywall's office manager

"Apla-Tech tools have changed our personal and professional lives for the better. My husband's aches and pains have gone completely away. No more chronic shoulder strain and joint pain from finishing. Most importantly, Dennis is able to come home to us sooner, if he chooses, and still can complete his project(s) as he needs to. It's ncie to have him come home to me and our four children in a timely manner. And, he has nearly doubled the amount of footage he can finish over what he could previously do with mechanical tools and with a higher quality finish. We grossed about 60% more in 2002 than 2001. Without Apla-Tech none of this would be possible. Thank you Apla-Tech."

Chuck's Drywall - Park Falls, WI

Chuck Pasewald

"I'm only working 1/2 as much as I used to before. In the morning, I get up, go to work and complete what I have to do for the day. When I look at my watch, I say to myself, guess I'm going home early again today. I have more time to do the things I enjoy, like going hunting. I feel great at the end of the day now, plus, I'm on the stilts a lot less."

Kelly Interiors - Toronto, Canada

Dennis Kelly

"I have been using these tools for approximately 8 months. It's a nice feeling to work all day and not have the aches and pains associated with the mechanical systems. In fact, I have sold my mechanical tools. Great tools! THANKS."
