DWR completes first Astera sale in South Africa
- Details
No sooner had DWR and Astera struck the distribution deal, Andre was on Duncan Riley’s doorstep, and in fact the eight-way Titan Tube kit was DWR’s original demo kit, which he purchased on the day it arrived in their warehouse in Johannesburg!
Duncan commented: “I always knew Astera was going to be popular, but even I was taken aback by Andre’s enthusiasm. He rocked up, virtually snatched them from us, transferred the money and disappeared in a cloud of dust up the road,” he says laughing. “I think he was straight out on a shoot that day using them.”
“They are totally amazing tools,” confirms Andre who appreciates the incredible versatility. He adds that he’s impressed with the way Astera has thought of every possible permutation that someone might use to mount and rig the tubes - including hand-holding with the ‘light sabre’ handle.
“You can really work fast on any site with these, utilising a number of smart features like telling the source how long to operate and other extremely helpful things.”
