50 • SEPTEMBER 2011 • WORLD FENCE NEWS BD Loops says its pizza wheel and wedge tool make installation easier and better Installers can easily roll saw-cut loops to the bottom of the groove while standing by using the BD Loops pizza wheel and wedge tool. According to BD Loops general manager Brian Dickson, many loop in- stallers use screwdrivers, paint mixers, sticks, or other tools to stuff saw-cut loops into saw-cut grooves. Those tools are not only ineffi- cient, but some can knick the loop wire and cause the loop to short to ground, he said. The BD Loops pizza wheel and wedge tool is made of smooth and durable PVC that will not knick the loop wire. The wedge tool allows in- stallers to easily push wire down into 135° dog eared corner cuts. The roller is 1/8" thick and works best with BD Loops preformed saw- cut loops. The pizza wheel can attach to any length 3/4" PVC conduit so that in- stallers can make a custom length han- dle that allows them to comfortably and easily push saw-cut loops to the bottom of the groove while standing. "Save your back and knees with the BD Loops pizza wheel and wedge tool," urged Dickson. "The tools are packaged with every TB-Kit (the only true saw-cut loop installation kit) or can be pur- chased individually." To learn more visit the web site www.BDLoops.com.

"It worked out great," said Mike Gulledge of SEGO. "We had 15 attendees, which was a few more than we had an- ticipated. Some of the guys had some experience with the DoorKing line and some of them didn't. So it was kind of a mixed group of participants. "We held the class at our office in- stead of one of the local hotels so we were limited on space, but it worked out great," he said. "We have this one room in our new location that kind of fits the bill perfectly. "Tony did his usual great job with the class. Being a smaller class al- lowed him to interact with the atten- dees a little better and everyone was able to participate in the discussions. We were able to set up a couple of op- erators and the new DKS power in- verter which allowed everyone to get a close-up look at how each system works. It was really an exceptional class. No one was disappointed," said Gulledge. A farm boy accidentally over- turned his wagon load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise and yelled over to the boy, "Hey Billy Bob, forget your troubles. Come in and visit with us. I'll help you get the wagon up later." "That's mighty nice of you," Billy Bob answered, "but I don't think my Pa would like me to." "Aw, come on boy," the farmer in- sisted. "Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "but my Pa won't like it." After a hearty dinner, Billy Bob thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know my Pa is going to be real mad." "Don't be foolish!" the neighbor said with a smile. "By the way, where is your Pa?" "Under the wagon."
