Flexible Screwdriver With 30 Bits # OB623

Take a look at what you’re selling in your store.  Do you have enough items for men?  I’m talking about real men who like to go camping and  know how to fix things.  Men who take a shower after work every day, not before.  If your store lacks items for such men, you’re missing out on a key demographic.  Even if these guys don’t shop in your store, their wives and kids do, and they’ll be looking for a good deal on manly gifts for Christmas and birthdays.

Think of how proud Manly Customer will feel when he’s with his friends and asks them “How long is your measuring tape?  Oh.  Mine is 100 feet long.  Yeah, that’s right.  100 feet.  But yours is fine, as long as you never have to measure anything big or important.”  Not only will you have one happy customer, but all of his insecure friends will flock to your store to buy their own 100-foot measuring tapes.

At Kole Imports we have a large selection of wholesale tools and hardware, making it easy for you to add a tool and hardware section to your store, or to expand the section you already have.  Take a look at the tool and hardware items you’re selling now, and ask yourself if there’s anything missing.  Think of the items your customers would be likely to buy. 

Of course, hand tools like hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, putty knives, and measuring tapes are always good sellers, but make sure you also sell items which customers use in their projects and need to replace, like nails, screws, zip ties, hose clamps, brackets and hinges.  Tape is another great-selling item, whether it be masking tape, electrical tape, or duct tape.  And don’t forget to stock a few different kids of glue.  Including different length stretch cords, twine and rope is a good idea, as people need to be able to tie things down in their cars and trucks.  Painting supplies are good sellers year round, as people are always thinking of redecorating.  Make sure you have plastic drop cloths and different sized rollers and paint brushes.

Stubby Screwdriver Set # MP129

Wholesale Pliers # MT433

Wholeale Super Glue MP054

We just received some great new closeout tools at Kole Imports, which we’re happy to offer to you at low wholesale prices.  Take a look at your tool section and think about how these items would fit into your product mix.  If you don’t sell tools, you should.  There is always a demand for basic tools, and they are often bought on impulse, when the customer sees something he doesn’t have in his toolbox.  It’s even more likely to be an impulse purchase if the price is right.  These new closeout tools are wholesale priced low enough to be sold in a dollar store. They are UPC coded and packaged to hang on a display hook.  Click here to see all of our tools or scroll down to see the new items pictured below.

Mini Hacksaw Tool Closeout MT510

Closeout tool item MT510 is a nice mini-hacksaw, which is a plastic handle designed to hold a hacksaw blade.  It’s perfect for cutting things in hard-to-reach places.  This is a very handy tool, but don’t use it unless you’re wearing safety glasses.  What?  You don’t have safety glasses?  Fear not.  Take a look at the next closeout tool below.
