"The best tools ever"
February 2011
Active Tools recently exhibited at the FISA Coaches Conference near the 2012 Olympic rowing course at Dorney.
On both days of the conference Jürgen Gröbler, the GB head coach, made a point of coming over to our stand and saying how good he found our rigging tools. He has been using them since 2004 and his comment was ‘These are the best tools ever - and you can quote me on that’.
High praise indeed!
