Article Abstract:
Servistar Corp's senior buyer of hand and power tools Ken Lay expresses his opinions on the hand tool market, and innovations in hand tools, electronic tools, tape measures, and pro-grade tools. The hand tool business diminished due to power tool promotions between 1990-1995. Servistar sells more pro-grade tools to contractors who like them due their superior performance. Hand tool manufacturers improved packaging design to make the product more accessible to customers.
