  1. Merry Christmas from Timberwolf Tools

    Thank you to all our customers, vendors and employees for another record-shattering year at Timberwolf Tools!  We hope that you are likewise wrapping up a successful 2021 and enjoying some well-deserved rest.

    In this season of Advent, we reflect back on the truly great things that have been accomplished for us.  And on this darkest day of the year, we look forward with great expectation that somehow the future will be brighter.

    Timberwolf Tools will be taking off Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th to celebrate with our families.  Please remember that price increases typically happen each new year, so this is an excellent time for those last-minute stocking stuffers  :)

    David enjoyed seeing many of you at the Timber Framers Guild event in Vermont!  I heard there were lots of wood chips made, with the Mafell NFU 50 Groove Cutter leading the charge.  This new tool is revolutionizing the way timber framers are constructing their knee braces

    Happy spring to you! Who’s ready for building season?  My goodness, based on tool demand, it feels like last year’s building season never stopped  :)

    A few quick announcements before you get back to your basketball brackets...


    Three Quick Announcements:


    -Mafell’s annual price increase will happen April 1st this year.  This is not an April Fools joke!  It will only be a few percentage points in most cases, but many of our customers appreciate knowing these dates in advance.  All Mafell Tools, accessories and parts are effectively on sale for the rest of the month of March, so it’s an excellent time to stock up.

  4. Merry Christmas from Timberwolf Tools

    A year full of challenges that will not be forgotten—yet it cannot be understated how thankful we are for you, our customers and vendors, for somehow making it the most successful in Timberwolf Tools history!

    It’s a miracle that packages are being delivered, that orders keep coming in, that shelves are stocked, and that manufacturers keep innovating.  But thankfully “nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).

    In a year of so much isolation, we are especially grateful for new partnerships that have begun, including a master “shed” builder, a future bookkeeper, and a special relationship across the pond.

    Whatever the next year brings, we wish you and yours hope and joy  :)

  5. The Track Saw Champion

    Usually we save “Thank-You” newsletters for Christmastime, but we are long overdue for a special shout-out to all our customers, vendors and employees:  you have put us on track for a record-high year at Timberwolf Tools!  Every day I feel like legendary Cubs announcer Harry Caray yelling:  “HOLY COW!!!”  Not at all what we expected when the stay-at-home orders were announced in the spring.  We are so humbled and grateful for your support, especially with so many companies hurting out there.  It took a herculean effort here and everyone stepped up their game, especially the brave folks at FedEx on the front lines.

    Everyone who is able to grab a tape gun has to get back to one now  :)  but first we couldn’t resist pointing out that Mafell’s MT55 18M bl Cordless Plunge/Track Saw was recently crowned the winner of the

  6. The "Golden Tool" - Mafell Z5Ec Portable Band Saw

    What a challenging world we live in today!  Timberwolf Tools just had its busiest January and February ever, but the virus threat has certainly changed everyone's perspective for the near future.  Let’s look on the bright side of having some extra time (a precious commodity) and consider how an investment today will pay valuable dividends tomorrow.

    March is traditionally a big month of the year to invest in a Mafell Z5Ec 12" Portable Band Saw and we don’t expect a global pandemic to change that.  It’s no secret that this is one of our customers' favorite tools, even with the recent surge of interest in cabinet-making tools.  And every time I think we have this versatile band saw figured out, someone posts a video on Instagram or YouTube with a totally new application.

    In the experience of our president David Powell, who has led Timberwolf Tools for over 20 years:

  10. Chain Mortisers: the Running Back of Tools

    Did you know the world’s first portable electric carpentry power tool was a chain mortiser, invented by Mafell in 1926? (Wikipedia)  A little known fact—and yet it makes perfect sense if you have tried to drill and chisel a mortise by hand—it was just a matter of time before an innovator came along and said, “We must automate this process!”
