Happy 2-Year Anniversary to Heidi!

For the past two years, Heidi has been an incredible part of the 1st Ayd team. Working in Accounting while also supporting many of the people-focused responsibilities that help our team stay organized and running smoothly, she truly wears many hats and handles them all with kindness, professionalism, and a smile.

Heidi is often one of the very first people new employees meet when joining 1st Ayd, and she always makes everyone feel welcomed and supported from day one. Her friendly attitude, helpful nature, and dedication to our team do not go unnoticed.

We are so thankful for everything Heidi does behind the scenes each day to help keep 1st Ayd running smoothly. Thank you for your hard work, positivity, and commitment over the last two years. We appreciate you so much!

Congratulations, Heidi!

Get the sizes you use most with our Duplex Coated Blue Drill Bits, now available in individual packs from 1/16" through 1/2".

Designed for professionals who need longer tool life, smoother cutting, and reliable performance across a variety of materials.

• Duplex PVD multi-layer coating provides 4–5× longer life
• Thermal stability helps the bit stay sharper under high heat
• Smooth finish reduces material build-up and friction
• Ideal for aluminum and other friction-heavy metal applications
• 135° split point helps improve starting accuracy
• 3-flats on shank provide a stronger chuck grip and help reduce slipping

Whether you are replacing your most-used sizes or stocking up for the shop, these drill bits are built to cut cleaner and last longer.

We’re excited to introduce a fresh new look for one of our most trusted products.

Our Lemon/Lime Hand Cleaner ( #154) just got a label refresh—while keeping the same proven performance that’s made it a staple since the late 1970s.

This was only the second hand cleaner ever introduced by 1st Ayd, and decades later, it remains:
✔ A Top 5 selling hand cleaner
✔ A Top 20 product across our entire lineup
✔ Manufactured and bottled in-house for consistent quality and supply

Think of it as the perfect complement to our original 145 Blue Pumice Hand Cleaner:
• Slightly less abrasive (easier on hands)
• Still delivers strong grease-cutting power
• Finished with a clean, refreshing lemon-lime scent

From formulation to packaging, this product is handled under our roof—because quality control matters.

Our rep Daniel Chavez out in the field today doing a ride-along with one of our key PPE manufacturer reps.

There’s no substitute for getting in front of customers together—walking facilities, identifying needs, and collaborating in real time on the best solutions. These ride-alongs strengthen relationships, deepen product knowledge, and ultimately help us deliver more value to our customers.

From nitrile gloves to full PPE programs, it’s all about understanding the application and making the right recommendation on the spot.

Appreciate the partnership and the hands-on approach—this is how great teams get better✊.
