    tool update

    The Breda by CLC launches March 2018

    my tool which I started developing last year with questions here on the CB, on how it all works, is coming to market! The record setting 5 x multiplication, light wt and ergonomic with an easy to squeeze internal spring is really awesome. Featuring our own blade design that cannot turn until pulled out and reset AND they are reversible for left hand use

    Democrats don't have any gonads so the tool has no use there, us on the right are to tough for it to work.

    online sales began this morning and I'm nearly out of tools tonight. But they are beautiful! It's been a long hard slog but we're finally underway.

    Thank you Dave, for all your help understanding this process. Everyone can see the final results of the last two years here

    How are you reaching your market so quickly using the web? Amazon or some other marketing platform? Breda is nothing I have ever heard of. Is it a specialty outlet for glass hobbyists or professionals. The $120 price would aim your tool at only those really interested, I’m guessing.

    I too am hoping you sell a ton.

    Thanks Dave, you were a huge help in getting me started.. never even heard of a hand tool designer before. LOL

    Waco, as much as ya all bash Facebook, that's where you build a community. I started the Breda page 2 years ago posting about development. I am in FB mosaic groups that have upwards of 15 thousand members... I am shipping all over the world because of that alone. I pay 5 bucks here and there to target certain regions and demographics with FB and Instagram ads. This is really about word of mouth, everytime an artist gets their Breda, they post about it and tag me, I share their post and bang a flurry of orders come in.

    Teachers in studios are bringing their Breda in to their classes, letting everyone try it and boom,, more orders. I've shipped out 350 tools just in this 1st week of online. Cyprus, South Africa, Australia, France, UK,... it's pretty incredible. Artists are coming onto my page and posting reviews about Breda being a "GAMECHANGER" It's got the highest multiplication of force of any wheeled nipper and thats surprising everyone at how easy they cut and no one else has an indexing blade so ppl are are thrilled not to have to mark their blades any more... https://www.facebook.com/getthebreda/

    I'm glad the Facebook connection is working out well for you, Candace...I did not have the same results you did, but I have to admit my target group was a lot smaller...I even had a problem with my posts disappearing...I dropped out entirely after that...CongRATs to you!......Ben
