Well, we're making up for it today, now that we're back from the STAFDA show. ![STAFDA 2014](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/blogimages/2014/STAFDA_Sign_FINAL_SM.jpg) To summarize the entire 2014 STAFDA show, we would have to write a book. With several hundred exhibitors - and many more attendees - STAFDA is a mecca for the tool and fastener industry. Every year, the **[Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association](https://www.stafda.org/)** puts on the event, hosting the convention in various cities across the U.S. ![STAFDA 2014](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/blogimages/2014/STAFDA_2.jpg) This year, STAFDA visited Charlotte, NC. Home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame and other attractions, here's a brief overview of NGD's trip to North Carolina. ![Charlotte, NC](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/blogimages/2014/Charlotte_SM.jpg) As tool and fastener technology continues to grow, STAFDA is a great place to catch a glimpse of the latest and greatest within the industry. Among highlights of the show, we caught a close-up glance at the **[Bostitch Smart Point nailers](https://www.nailgundepot.com/blog/bostitch-releases-new-smart-point-finish-brad-nailers-blog.html)** - as well as their all-new cordless carton closing staplers.
