iQ Power Tools is proud to sponsor the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500®

Words: Lucy MartinezRegional competition is underway across North America, setting the field for the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® at the 2015 World of Concrete in Las Vegas, NV.

As longtime mason contractors we're proud to sponsor this great event. That's also why we build power tools that eliminate dust problems. Eliminating dust saves time, saves money and saves lives.

We'll be at most of this year's regionals doing demos with our patented iQ360® Dust Control Table Saw and iQPC912® Dust Control Power Cutter.

The question is, when and where is your regional?

Find your regional and catch highlights from the 2014 championship right here. We hope to see you out there!
