Our commitment to innovation allowed us to be the first to develop and introduce the Maxi Disc™ Radial Flap Disc and the reinforced Pearl Flex Wheel. In 1980, Pearl quickly established itself as an industry leader in the field of high-tech diamond blades. Pearl was the first company to introduce continuous rim dry cutting diamond blades. The patented wave-shaped core, reinforced diamond matrix and Direct Sintering Technology (DST™) of the Pearl Super Dry Turbo Series set the industry standard for extraordinary performance and exceptional value. In 1993, the market was in need of a new product for surface and floor preparation. Pearl listened, invented and introduced the Hexpin® Surface Preparation System, a compact, user friendly and cost effective floor preparation system utilizing diamond and carbide pins as well as a variety of florr preparation attachments. Whether the job requires grinding, sanding, polishing or coating removal on concrete, the professionals use the Hexpin® System. In 1997, Pearl introduced the VX Series Tile Saws. A tile saw that was “lightweight not light duty and made big cuts.” We now have tile, rail and masonry saws. We continue to expand and improve this important division of the company.

LoneStar Adhesive™ is a family owned and operated business, working to leave the custom branding industry a little better than it was found. As someone who began in this business as a hat maker himself, it didn’t take our owner (Josh) long to see that the “industry standard” for thermal activated adhesive was sub-par, at best. A background in customer service drove him to seek a solution that didn’t leave him continually returning to troubleshoot work that could be done right the first time. Growing weary of companies promising a solution, only to offer disappointing results, he sought after an adhesive that truly is, "Adhesive with Integrity." After testing the durability for a while in his own small business, “Brim Lines,” he knew it should be brought to other makers so the entire industry could see what should be the new standard. Durra-Bull, the signature product and adhesive from LoneStar Adhesive Co., has taken the industry by the horns and left the rest in its dust. It has stood its ground while enduring all kinds of conditions from a truck left in the South Texas summer heat to the frigid temps endured by our Canadian friends to a well-meaning trip through the washing machine. The years since bringing the adhesive to market have been a wild ride, and LoneStar Adhesive has grown into a distributor of top-grain leather, leatherette, wood veneer, and acrylic sheets, all backed by Durra-Bull adhesive. Staying true to his roots, Richardson hats are also stocked in some of the most popular color ways. The solutions coming from LoneStar haven’t ended there, either. Now known for their customer service, they’ve brought a dual platen hat press with an extended warranty to market, the Branding Iron. And when an ongoing problem with leatherette peeling was identified, Josh approached a manufacturer about creating a premium leatherette. This product is now an exclusive offering of LoneStar Adhesive, and proving to be yet another solution the industry needed. As of today, you can easily find makers proudly demonstrating the strength of the adhesive through “pull tests” for their own customers. The LoneStar Adhesive Team still helpfully, and joyfully, recommends the use of pliers. We've added the new LoneStar app as an easily accessible option for browsing and purchasing our products. Whether it's patch hat supplies, heat presses, design files, or instructional information, our LoneStar mobile app has got you covered! There has never been a better time to make professional-grade patch hats, patch beanies, and more using our premium laser supplies and heat-activated adhesive...
