Capstone Companies Inc (CAPC)

I just got back home to LA from the AAPEX show at the Sands convention center in Las Vegas and the SEMA show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The following are my observations as I'm too tired from today's journey to add much comentary.

1. I got to the show around 10AM and picked up my advanced registration for entry.
2. I got inside the doors and started in the direction of Booth 940 but quickly realized that I was downstairs and the booth was upstairs on the second level.
3. On my way upstairs I noticed the New Product Showcase display which included 2 Capstone STP tools entries. The Jumpstart box that is in the Ibox and the 5 piece STP powertool combo kit. I have pictures of these.
4. On my way in to the second floor I noticed a very prevalent sign prohibiting cameras in the show area. Hummmmmmm. I made my way to the booth and was very impressed with what I saw. Capstone and STP Tools banner headliner across the top of the booth. A 2 shelve back display cabinet that was heartily stocked with STP power tools, Simply comfort foam products, Capstone task lights and even a couple of key chains for us old timers.
5. The staff were all very professionally atired in tie and jacket. Nice. I for one was very impressed by their appearance. The whole cast were there. Howard, Stewart and Ried Goldman caught my eye right off the bat. I saw Gerry McClinton and a couple of others but is was Ried who spent some time with my friend and I to talk about the STP power tool line.
6. The tools are impressive. The Lithium Ion battery tools are much lighter than the Ni Cad versions and are really well designed and feel solid. Lots of nice features. The Jump Start box was a model and not the actual functional unit.
7. I asked if any samples have been shipped to any of the sales reps and the answer came back as no since this was the first day and all working models and actual pieces were focused on the launch.
8. I think that Howard might have put it together who I was and seemed very aloof to me which I can understand since the way I went off on him here Sunday. Sorry about that all..:-/

All in All it was a great day until I called a friend and heard about the selloff. UGHHHH!!! I'm here to report facts about the show to all who are interested. The bottom line is that the STP Power Tool line is now officially launched and the www.stptools.com site is live. We have a very popular brand in the automotive world with STP and the booth traffic proved it. Lots of activity. Lots of enthusiasm was evident in the booth.

This is real and I believe the whole CHDT/Capstone team needs to be congratulated on a job well done.

I spent the afternoon over at the SEMA show which was hughe. I tried to see it all in one day but only scratched the surface.

Too tired to write more......still digesting a lot.

more to follow.
