Tools Sell Briskly Over The Holidays

Slow housing starts put the hurt on power tool manufacturers, but it seems like the holidays are working out pretty well for them.  According to the Frederick, Maryland News-Power Online, tools (as well as games) sold briskly over the holidays. 

(BTW, I couldn’t resist posting the accompanying photo from the article, because judging by the bags they carry, these two seem interested in neither power tools nor card games.  I’m just sayin’.}

Some of the hot items local retailers reported included power tools, wrench sets, screwdrivers, and tool sets as a whole.

I think next year we’re going to see a major swing toward promoting high-end tools to the DIY crowd, which IMHO is a good thing.  Why buy a half-assed tool when you can have the real deal?
