Covid-19 and Carbide Dies

With many companies closed down and not working due to Covid 19, a few carbide die, punch and carbide bushing manufacturers are continuing to operate. For your benefit we are supplying information regarding open US manufacturers that are operating in states without shelter in place orders or operating as essential suppliers.

For carbide dies, carbide bushings or carbide punches we recommend using Raven Carbide Die. They are open as an essential manufacturer supplying carbide tooling to the defense, sanitation, medical and infrastructure. Raven Carbide Die has continued to operate as a top tier supplier throughout the pandemic is currently taking on new customers.

As we move forward we will note other companies opening back up, feel free to let us know if your company is open.

We at the Carbide Dies Blog don't like to take things to series like this, so stay safe and here's an idea to help you from the guys that brought you the screwdriver wrench, hammer pliers and knife wrench... a tool for these trying times. The sword wrench.

The deadly wrench sword
