About Cal-Tool: California Tool and Welding Supply (Cal-Tool) is a family-owned company that serves SoCal and Southern Nevada regions, specializing in industrial gas/cryogenics, process piping solutions, weld machine repair, and weld product supply. Cal-Tool’s motto is “service only a family-owned-and-operated business can supply,” and they pride themselves on “being 100% customer focused.” Through our most recent hotfire, USC LPL can attest to these claims firsthand.
LPL has done business with industrial gas and cryogenic suppliers for many years. Our business with Cal-Tool exceeds any service we’ve previously experienced.Our experience with Cal-Tool has been extremely positive. Our dewars and gas bottles were delivered at an affordable price and in amazing condition. The hardware was visibly clean (despite dust buildup from the unpaved road), and the dewar's fluidic connections even appeared ox-cleaned prior to delivery. Cal-Tool also accommodated our last-minute request for an extremely low-pressure dewar, which significantly improved our tank fill and pre-chill operations. This hotfire also yielded LPL’s highest-quality throttle data to date, which was made possible in part by Cal-Tool’s cryogenic supply.The most remarkable aspect of Cal-Tool’s service has been the team's professionalism and customer-first attitude. A perfect example is when, at no fault of theirs, Cal-Tool’s truck became stuck in soft sand on the off-road route to the delivery site. Despite the recovery effort falling late into the evening, the driver stayed remarkably positive and was determined to deliver that same night, allowing LPL to stay on schedule. Cal-Tool’s Victorville and Riverside offices were also constantly checking on their driver and the situation, demonstrating genuine consideration for everyone's wellbeing.Cal-Tool’s high-quality service has made them an exceptional partner for USC LPL. We look forward to continuing our collaboration, and we highly recommend them for business!
