Eastwood CompanyThe Eastwood Company. This is your source for tools and supplies related to abrasive blasting, auto accessories & gifts, body & fender, brakes & suspension, buffing & finishing, electrical & diagnostic, engine & drivetrain, HotCoat, interior & exterior, metal shaping, painting, pinstriping and custom art, plastic & glass repair, powder coatings, rust prevention, shop tools, specialty paints & coatings, welding, and your garage. In the fall of 1978, Curt Strohacker started a new business to serve a new market: the auto restoration/customization hobby. He chose auto restoration from a life-long interest in old cars. During high school Curt worked in a service station, bought and sold innumerable vehicles, and learned some very valuable lessons about restoration - namely, the best ways to restore collector vehicles. When the auto restoration market took off in the 1970s, Curt realized that the right tools and techniques could help thousands of other restorers save time and money. In August 1983, both the Mercedes and BMW car club magazines unexpectedly endorsed an Eastwood car wash brush. Sales multiplied; so did the staff, which soon doubled. The discovery of the Eastwood spotweld gun proved even more fortunate. This tool duplicates industrial spotwelds (found on virtually every metal-bodied car), and does so for under $60. Commercial spotwelders typically start at $300 and up. In September 1998, Eastwood received the Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence for the HotCoat Powder Coating System. This product, developed exclusively by Eastwood, was recognized for its protection of the environment. This HotCoat system also received the Automotive Restoration Market Organization's Best New Product award for 1999. In July of 2000 the company relocated to its new state of the art 60,000 sf facility located one-hour northwest of Philadelphia in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. In the past few years, Eastwood has seen changes in the marketplace resulting in greater need for products geared to muscle cars, street rods, motorcycles, and trucks in addition to the classics. Eastwood's on-going commitment of providing unique products and innovative solutions to automotive, motorcycle and truck enthusiasts worldwide will certainly take it successfully through the century. They are a good source for professional metalworking tools such as Beverly shears, welding equipment, plasma cutters, siphon and pressurized abrasive blasting equipment, and quality buffing and finishing supplies.
