1960 Ardisam opens for business with the Ardis Quick Digger Art, Dick and Sam began their metal fabricating shop known as Ardisam out of a small garage located on Main Street in Cumberland, Wisconsin. Their vision and ingenuity yielded working power equipment. The powered post hole digger engineered back then is just as tough, durable and affordable today as it was in 1960.

1966 IsoVibe shock absorber goes on first earth auger drill The revolutionary IsoVibe auger coil absorbs vibration from rocks and tree roots that drills commonly encounter.The original tried and tested flex coil design is still used today on our powered earth drills!

1970 Ardisam Constructs New Headquarters As the Earthquake brand gained popularity, the factory gained floorspace. Implementing time saving metal fabricating devices, painting booths, testing facilities, and shipping areas, Earthquake became better able to serve the growing demand for its products.
