  • KW-triO, an ingenious staple gun and tacker developer,
  • William Tools, an innovator in ratchet handles and torque tools, and
  • YOKE, a top three industrial lifting and safety hook manufacturer.

The event will also feature opening remarks from two industry speakers. Mr. Huang Hsin-Te, Chairman of the Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers’ Association, will provide an overview on trends and developments in Taiwan’s hardware and hand tools industry.

Since the pandemic, spending on home improvements and repairs alone grew to nearly $420 billion. (source: Harvard Center for Housing). According to Arizton, the global hand tools market is expected to reach more than $28B by 2027, driven in part by innovations in ergonomic design and precision performance. And analyst firm Technavio projects the Americas will continue to dominate the hand tools market in 2022 and beyond.

“Every major trend indicates that US demand for hand tools is continuing unabated. Taiwan, as a major supplier accounting for a majority of the world’s medium- and high-end hand tools, is poised to meet that demand,” said Jessica Lin, Director of the Taiwan Trade Center, Los Angeles. “We are proud to have bestowed the Taiwan Excellence Award to our most innovative companies and gratified that their products – known increasingly for ergonomic design, precision, efficiency, and safety – are today embraced by millions around the world.”

The “Hot Hardware and Hand Tools” webinar, which will broadcast on Taiwan Excellence’s YouTube channel, will take place at 2:00PM EST on Friday, May 20 with four innovative hardware and hand tool firms showing off their latest products:

  1. King Tony
    King Tony will feature three of their most popular products. Its King Tony 49-piece and 39-piece socket, ratchet and drill sets, are curated for convenience, portability, and time savings. With 49 and 39 pieces respectively, these sets are useful for many different applications and occasions.

    King Tony is also helping users stay organized with its innovative portable toolbox. The three layers of storage space and modular design allow you to store and stack a variety of tools including bits, sockets, drills – without damage.

    For nearly 40 years, King Tony has been manufacturing hand tools for professionals and for those who demand professional equipment to build, make, repair, and sometimes demolish. From ratchets to sockets, torque tools, wrenches, and more, the company has the tool you need to get the job done.
  2. KW-triO
    Taking an innovative approach to stapling and tacking is KW-triO’s “Easy-Tech” series. Utilizing the company’s patented Easy-Tech squeeze mechanism, the new staplers and tackers are user-friendly products with smooth trigger handles and ergonomic designs that don’t require brute force to operate yet are powerful enough to tackle any job. These guns and tackers easily fire 25,000 times compared to less than 1,000 times for similar type products from competitors.

    Founded in 1976, KW-triO is one of the largest stationery, hand tools, and staple gun manufacturers in the world. With a massive uptick in DIY home renovation, especially during the pandemic, the staple gun and the tacker have become a “staple” in the toolboxes of many.
  3. William Tools
    Three new design innovations will be shown by William Tools: a Shifter Ratchet which can switch directions with one hand; the HextorQ Screwdriver, a portable screwdriver with rapid torque adjustment features and the Cross Tire Torque Wrench specifically designed for fixing tire bolts.
