Knipex Step Cut XL – Slice Through Copper Like Butter

Knipex Twin Grip Pliers – More Sizes, More Grip
The expanded Twin Grip line now comes in 6″, 8″, and 10″ sizes. These pliers grab rounded, recessed, or stripped fasteners from the top or side, perfect for tight, awkward spaces.
The Caulking Finger – Save Your Hands
A veteran painter who got tired of ruining his fingers invented this tool. The Caulking Finger smooths caulk easily and clean itself as you work, no mess, no splinters, no hassle.
Simpson Pressure Washers – Serious Cleaning Power
Simpson rolled out two washers: a 3,400 PSI unit for homeowners and a 4,000 PSI Pro model for heavy-duty work. The Pro version moves more water, blasts away debris faster, and includes a 5-year engine warranty available exclusively at Lowe’s.
Evermark Ever Strike – Keep Intruders Out
Evermark’s reinforced strike plate system makes doors dramatically harder to kick in. During a full-force kick test, the door held strong. The company also debuted a pet-proof weather strip that keeps your door protected from scratch-happy pets.
