Mental health challenges often go unseen, but their impact on workers, families and businesses is real.

"The culture of construction is unique. It isn’t always easy to admit you need help—or to ask a coworker if they are okay. It will take time for our industry to evolve into a place where discussing mental health is as second nature as discussing hard hats, eye protection or fall arrest systems. But we are making progress." - Mike Stark, AWCI CEO

🎥 TrueShear™: Steel Cutting, Reframed

This video from Grabber Construction Products introduces TrueShear™, a portable shearing press designed to change how steel is cut on commercial jobsites.

Instead of noisy chop saws and abrasive blades, TrueShear delivers 12 tons of force to cut 16-gauge to 20-gauge steel with the push of a button. The result is a clean, precise factory edge without sparks, heat, or hot work.
