Fastenal

And what was crazy about the win tonight is that so many hitters were being late great in unexpected ways.

Let's mix it up, engineered by Fastenal.

[upbeat music] See, this is what happens when you get excited, you, your vocabulary goes out, out the window.

But that's the case with me all the time.

And we talk about the fact that, you know, when it comes to a trio of players that, you know, really could be, you know, the, a defining reason why the Braves could make a long run in the postseason, it certainly is Matt Olson, Drake Baldwin, as well as Ronald Acuña Jr.

But another trio of players, we've mentioned their names quite a bit, is coming into focus that really could play a critical part in the Braves succeeding come October.

More on that in just a moment after a word from our partners, the wonderful folks at Fastenal.

Fastenal, industrial supplies, innovative solutions.

In our space it was called integrated supply.

Think Grainger, Fastenal.

You walk into any manufacturing plant today, you see lots of vending machines in there that are holding all the indirect materials.

So these were cutting tools, grinding wheels, safety supplies, welding supplies, coolants, lubricants.

SanDisk is projecting just over $20 billion.

So why is Nike boarding the Bruce Caboose while SanDisk is riding first class directly into the S&P 100? You know, when I graduated from college, I spent seven years working at a company called Fastenal.

Fastenal is an industrial supplier.

For the average person, Fastenal is a pretty boring company.

They sell nuts and bolts to women looking to become men.

But if you're involved in the stock market, Fastenal is not only well-known, They are one of the best corporations to invest your money in.

I haven't worked there in almost 15 years now.

The company stock that they gave me while I was working there all those years ago, it's worth a lot of money today.

All right? So that's the tensile strength.

We've seen these terms, and you look in the catalog, let's say like McMaster Car or Fastenal.

And if you don't have one of those catalogs, there's probably other companies throughout the country.

They are fantastic.

You could look them up on the internet, McMaster Car.

Fastenal, you need bolts, you need hardware, you need bearings, you need stuff.

They have it there, but they're going to list things by the specification of the bolts.

So if you don't know what the heck it means, but especially on the farm, if you get one of those catalogs, you're going to love it.

It was stocks like Goldman Sachs, Travelers, Walmart, not anything we own, Illumina, PayPal.

Vodafone, Workday, Fastenal, Checkpoint Software, and I commented in my last missive to my subscribers, this is an odd group of stocks that led the market yesterday.

But hey, the market did well.

Bitcoin was up 4,181 yesterday.

Can't thank you enough.

Again, don't want, want, want to remind you, uh, Foul Territory is engineered by Fastenal.

We'll talk to you again soon here on the Hammer Territory Podcast.

Tim has always been a B2B company, industrial.

He's sold to, like, Grainger, Fastenal, those type of suppliers.

And then do you know at what point he started going online, you know, dot-com, and, and, and Amazon and things like that? I assume it was before you joined the company.

Do you know how long before?

Most workers don't buy their safety equipment from 3M.

They buy it from Grainger or McMaster Car or Fastenal.

These are the industrial supply distributors, and they exert enormous influence on what products actually reach workers.

Grainger reported something on the order of $15 billion in revenue in 2025.

Damn, man.

Yeah, shouts to Fastenal.

If you live in that m- at some point, somebody you know worked at Fastenal, boy.

I worked there, too.

Them break rooms used to be insane 'cause the people who would eat them big-ass cheeseburgers out the vending machines, uh-
