Tune in to the latest episode of NC Shop Talk to hear us chat with host Mal Maher about some of the industry’s hottest topics and unveil NC’s newest product: Premax Shears!

NC Shop Talk is the industry’s first podcast. It’s hosted by Mal of NC Carpet Binding & Equipment.

On the podcast, we talk about the benefits and concerns small shops have when hiring help, the 2023 SEMA Show, and NC Auto Interior of the Year Award, among other fun topics. Of course, Mal also dishes on his new line of Premax Shears, which are made in Italy, hand sharpened and nickel plated. They’re also half the price of high-end shears.
