We all just love AndyMark. Great stuff, great price, great service.

[Mike Martus]

They have some great products.

Remember they are a small firm and in the current crunch shipping, processing may take a little more time.

I use them as much as possible, they are part of "The Community of FIRST".

Support the community!

yeah, they are great! we use them a lot, as do a lot of teams

Thanks alot! Looks like my team Coach will be putting in an order for 2 of AndyMark's legendary AM Shifters pretty soon, and I just wanted to make sure we were making the right decision before we threw off our build schedule with tardy deliveries or broken parts.

There have been a few, but they have been on specific parts. The plastic omnis had trouble a couple years ago, but that has been fixed. Last year, the KOP wheels broke under certain conditions, including a lot of use, but that too seems to have been fixed. This year, some of the Toughboxes are a little off on size on some of the units. That has normally been an easy fix.

That is all the problems that I know of. Not bad, given that AM produces a lot of trannies and wheels and such like every year. Delivery time is usually pretty good.

I'd say that AndyMark is a good idea if you like reliability.

Nope. They are in a crunch. Last year we bought wheels from them and this year our mystery package is already shipping.

Mystery Package?

Also, what gen of shifter are you planning on buying? May I suggest the gen 2 as this one will get you as close to a super sifter as possible, that is without buying one of course.

[cobrawanabe1699]

We're going with the gen 1. Thanks fo rthe tip, ill talk to my coach

[Beth Sweet]

Great quality, used them multiple times, but order early, we've had some shipping issues in the past.

[Richard Wallace]

My team has ordered from AndyMark three times recently and each time their shipment went out within one business day of our order. The only faster supplier I know of is McMaster-Carr.

McMaster doesn't sell omniwheels, or two-speed shifting gearboxes, or half-inch hex aluminum hubs, or several other really cool items. So we really like AndyMark.

[JM987]

actually they are pretty good and really easy to set upp.
its really good considering that they came in the kit of parts

[Arefin Bari]

hahahahahahaha.... that would be a heck yes they are reliable. They made mine and my teams' life a lot easier for the past two build season. Thank god I don't have to spend time at the machine shop a week straight to get all the gears, sideplates, shafts done. We never had any problems with AM products.

They are also very reliable as far as service goes. Here is a little story, one of the south Florida teams ordered AM gen 1 the first year AM started to sell products. In the shipping process, the transmissions were destroyed. As soon as Andy heard about it, he shipped a new pair of transmission out... not to mention the team received them the next day.

Use as many AM product you can, you won't regret it.
