HAND AND POWER TOOLS
Power tools market in Europe set to grow
According to the Power Tools Market in Europe Analysis Report*, it is expected that the power tools market in Europe will grow by $1.36 billion (¤1.16 billion) during 2018-2022. This growth is being attributed to the rapid adoption of cordless power tools to keep up with the growing DIY culture.
Growing popularity of DIY in the European home improvement market has led to an increase in the demand for power tools that are convenient, lightweight, safe, and enable freedom of movement.
The cordless power tools segment is the fastest growing product segment of the power tools market in Europe. This is propelling the adoption of lithium-ion batteries as they are extensively used in cordless power tools as they use less toxic materials and have a low self-discharge rate. Cordless power tools powered by li-ion batteries also exhibit high power density and enhanced power-to-weight ratio. Thus, the growing popularity of cordless power tools equipped with li-ion batteries is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

International Tool Industries all under One Roof!
The high-quality, professional brand BENMAN has been a great success for International Tool Industries (I.T.I) since commencing their business as a hand tool importer/ distributor two years ago.
Supporting the Benman brand and from the same stable is their FF hand tool range, a highly competitive semi professional tool, offering quality and reliability.
Complementary to their hand tools is MORRIS, a full range of acrylic and technical aerosol sprays and decorating tools, including paint rollers and brushes, a must for both the professional and the DIY enthusiast. HUGO is their lock range, offering padlocks to suit every application, with boron steel shackles, fully approved marine locks, multipack and combination key-less locks.
The company`s biggest challenge to date was finding a way to market. Recognising they had the brands with quality and range, they still needed strength in numbers and that came with them building a strong team of colleagues. From their warehouse to their purchasing department and a three strong sales team they have extensive industry knowledge and expertise. They realised that all the pieces of the jigsaw were starting to come together very quickly. As General Manager Don O`Toole says “We now have all the key components in place, but we wouldn`t have been able to get to this position without our customers. Thank you to all of our very loyal and supportive customers”.
Having worked hard aligning their market position, ITI have acquired distribution for a high quality Italian manufactured pressure washer range, AR Blue Clean. This has become very popular for the company and their customers love the product, the pricing, and the quality.
ITI added another string to their bow in late 2019, Makita Power Tools. This brand has really elevated the company`s profile and added an extensive range to their portfolio of products. Makita is a brand leader in the construction and power tool industry for many years and is one of the best heavy-duty power tool products in the market. Consisting of 700+ cordless tools, using 18 & 36V battery power applications, and promoting “One Battery Fits All” they have since added the new 40V battery XGT range, giving more run time before charging.
Due to the continued growth in their business, ITI have just relocated to a 30,000 sq. ft warehouse, to facilitate the unprecedented expansion in sales. They continue to offer a next day service, supported by a pick rate of 97%, offering total customer satisfaction. Their online web shop has contributed to steady growth and has given flexibility to their extensive customer base to place electronic orders at a time that suits them.

C.K. Launches Cutting Edge Power Tool Accessories
Renowned for high quality power tool accessories, Carl Kammerling (C.K.) offers everything trade professionals need to power through jobs quickly and efficiently. C.K. has enhanced its range with innovative new products, including three new Multitool Blade Sets; a new 40mm HSS Cobalt Sheet Steel Hole Saw; and a Glass and Ceramic Drill Bit Set of five, all designed to consistently achieve the best results.
The three C.K. Multitool Blade Sets, all feature bi-metal blades and include: The C.K. Multitool Blade five Piece Set (T0870) and two X two Piece sets (2 x 34mm x 40mm Wood/ Metal Bi-Metal Blades T0875) and (2 x 28.5mm x 57mm Wood/ Metal Bi-Metal Blades T0876).
All the C.K. sets were derived from field research, which showed that electricians often need to cut through wood and plaster - sometimes nail embedded - and therefore need tough blades to complete the task effectively. The new C.K. Multitool Blade five Piece Set contains two High Carbon Steel Blades and three Bi-Metal Blades, with the full set comprising: 2 x 34mm x 40 wood HCS; 1 x 34mm x 40 BIM; 1 x 80mm diameter BIM; and 1 x 65mm x 42 wood BIM M2.
The C.K. HSS Cobalt Sheet Steel Hole Saw 40mm (T3202 040) offers a faster, smoother cutting action to reduce burring, its cobalt and alloy steel construction allowing it to cut sheet steel faster than standard hole saws. This high performance 40mm hole saw is perfectly placed to address the growing popularity of gland nuts with a 40mm thread. The C.K. Glass/Ceramic Drill Bit Set of five (T3059) are Titanium nitride coated and tungsten carbide tipped, this premium Glass/Ceramic Drill Bit Set of five offers a quick and efficient solution to drilling holes in ceramic and glass. The set contains: 4,5,6,7,10mm bits with a ¼” quick change hex shank.
Designed to work seamlessly with power tools from all the major manufacturers, C.K.’s new power tool accessories offer quality and reliability to ensure maximum performance every time.
