Le Roy Gasner of Gasner Woodworking, Langdon N.D. writes:
A good month ago I placed an order under an outdated account. You suggested other vendors in this area. I placed an order through Tool Crib of the North, as per your suggestion. They came through so very fast – I had my order within a week. So, I just wanted to say ’THANK YOU’ for all the work. I’ll be doing it again! You’re great folks with a great product ... it’s great dealing with you.
Sincerely, Le Roy Gasner

Jerry Northington of Birmingham, AL writes:
A few weeks ago, I attended a show sponsored by Moore-Handley Hardware Co. I saw the GRK booth and talked to the representative. He gave me some sample screws which I tried on a project at my home. The R4 fasteners worked great! They are far superior to the regular deck screws and long drywall screws which I had been attempting to use. The R4 screws pull all the way down and countersink while the other screws typically would not pull down completely. Attempts to seat them often result in stripped heads or broken screws. The torx head on the GRK is magnificent.
Thanks for making such a fine product.
Best regards, Jerry Northington

Greg Kossow a professional woodworker writes:
My name is Greg Kossow and I am currently writing a book under contract for Taunton Press called The Complete Illustrated Guide to Trim Carpentry. I have been a professional woodworker for 25 years, most of that time specializing in interior finish trim carpentry. I did a stint for three years building wooden boats during that time, and also have done a fair bit of residential framing. I have just recently run across your RT Composite Trim Head screw, and have been using it for different applications. As a finish carpenter I find the screws' ability to adjust the material being fastened in and out with the rotation of the screw to be a very useful feature. I don't know if this was an intended result but it sure works well. Also the piece being attached is held solidly in place even if it is not tight to the surface being joined to. I find myself using them in place of traditional shims with great success. I would like to review them in the book and would appreciate any other information about the screw and reverse thread configuration.
Thanks, Greg Kossow

Tim Finn, a Professional Engineer with over 30 years of extensive field experience says:
"I wish there was an effective way for me to share what a GREAT Screw GRK is. I did some custom work down in the Menlo Park area of California's SF Bay area. My mentor is an engineer who retired as a VP from Bechtel. He has done it all over his 80 plus years. While I was there I needed some screws. I told him that he and I were going to get the best screw there is. He was excited but for different reasons. But when he saw how effective your screw was he better appreciated my remark and came to agree with me that the best screw is from GRK."

Shannon Skovlund, a sales representative for BPI Inc of South Dakota writes:
One day I pulled into Ethan Co-Op Lumber Association in Ethan South Dakota to visit Brian and show him GRK's Caliburn™ Concrete screws. Brian asked "Are they any good?" to which I replied "Of course, they are GRK!" Brian said "Let's Find Out..," so we went into the alley of the lumberyard, drilled a hole into the concrete, put a washer on a 3 1/2" Caliburn™ XL and fed it through two lengths of a log chain. We then hooked the log chain on the end of the fork of a 10,000 lb fork lift. Pulling on the chain the fork lift had a 2 1/2 - 3" deflection. We lowered the fork and slid the chain towards the center of the fork. Pulling again it appeared the chain was ready to snap. It didn't and the screw pulled out. The threads were completely intact, telling us it was the concrete that gave way!

Lester Rose from Texas writes:
"I know one man's opinion does not make a company but this summer I worked at a National Wild Life Refuge in MN and they were buying and using your screws. I had never seen these and of course questioned their use. I am here to tell you these are the best screws I have ever used. I have moved to TX to another refuge and I  e- mailed the manager in MN to find out who you were so I could get them to buy those here. She responded and I found you on the net. Will be passing the information on.  You can count on it. I look forward to my next project as a volunteer here , and to using your screws. NONE BETTER!"

"Thanks so much for your quick action on this. See photo - drive now installed of front - better shots to follow. When we are done, GRK will have screwed approximately five (5) linear miles of IPE siding (every hole predrilled and countersunk) and just over 2,000 square feet of decking."

Mr. Gordy Sigren of Brown Lumber Co. writes:

Mr. John Worrel of Alvin Texas writes:
"I use your screws on just about everything that I assemble that has to do with wood! I hope to see you all continue to expand your line of screws and retailers, and wish you all GREAT success! Because, without a doubt you have one of the best quality products anywhere. I have been using your products for about 8 years now and hope to always have access to them. Every now and then I run out of a particular size and just about go into a panic until I am able to re-stock."

A letter from John M. Costik of Woodline Productions, Bradford PA:
Dear Uli,
     I would like to thank you for all the technical assistance that GRK has given us lately. Your company really made an effort to see that our needs were met.
     Your screws, while initially higher in price, have considerably reduced our total assembly time. We have found that your scews have more positive driving force, no screw breakage, less friction due to dry lube, and no cam out problems. In addition, we no longer need to countersink at the drilling station.
     We'll be using GRK screws from now on. Thanks again.
Sincerely, John M. Costik

A note from Custom Cabinets and Fine Furniture in Heron Lake, MN:
Dear Terry,
     Just a note to tell you how pleased I am with your products. I have now switched to exclusively using GRK screws in my cabinet shop.
     It is my firm belief that one cannot use a better product in cabinet construction. This product has saved countless hours of anxiety when changes are needed. The ease of installation and the assurance of using screws not breaking in face frames has been incredible. I have the pleasure of telling this to all who listen.
     In the years since you approached me with your products, I have continually found new application for products. I look forward to seeing new products.
     Thanks again for stopping. If I can be of help to you, let me know.
