Many people ask why we bend perfectly good nails and other short steel.  More people have asked why we have this business.  Recently I made a trip to Halifax and managed to hand deliver an order to a customer in Cole Harbor, Nova Scotia.  I was kind enough to give Darryl a free set of Ironmind Hand pads and he sent me this picture the next day along with this text “had leftover from my homemade loading pin.  Holy S*#1& that was hard”.  Hopefully Darryl will be purchasing some Ironmind Red Nails soon.

There is no way to describe the feeling of moving something that does not want to move.  I bent my first nail over 3 years ago with my cousin Rob.  That nail sits on my desk today.  It reminds me that if you believe you can do it, you can.  It took me nearly 5 minutes to bend that first nail.  Rob kept telling me just push your pinkies together.

Who would have thought that another visit to Rob’s house would introduce me to the world of Captains of Crush hand grippers and then a side business.

Anyway the reason we are here is passion for our products and wanting people to do things they did not think they were capable of.  Rob recently bent 5 Ironmind red nails in 3 mins.  Here is a video:

Happy bending and crushing!
