3 Free Reset 180 Days Dating Free Racks Free Point-of-Purchase Signage PROGRAM FACTS: What Reviewed: corded and cordless power tools. Recent trends in the power tool category include heavy growth in cordless as well as bare tools. Cordless growth is due to updated Lithium-Ion battery technology and brushless motors that both increase run time and power. Bare tools are a natural up-sell. Consumers can expand their tool capability at attractive price points after purchasing an existing kit that already has batteries and a charger. Master Mechanic has not only undergone a rebranding effort, but the whole value proposition has changed. Quality has been improved to mirror mid-price point or better, but at an opening-price point level. Private-label margins remain the most attractive option in the category. The customer experience will be improved through the new planograms by focusing brand options to the core brands that drive 75%+ market share and offering clear price-point progression with little to no redundancy in assortment. How Let us help you determine the right product mix for your store. Please review the checklist on the back of this brochure and come to Reunion prepared to review these questions. You can also work with your Retail Consultant to help identify what s right for your store and they can place orders on your behalf right there in your store! With these assortments you only need to order the items missing from the planogram. Markdown Credits or Lift Credits will be issued within 30 days of the product shipment. Resets only available for retailers within the 48 contiguous states. To qualify for a FREE RESET, you MUST ORDER a combined total of 20-feet of any of the CTB categories currently offered.

In addition, Milwaukee and DeWalt are battling for market share (together they control 75% of the market) and as a result, promotional price points on brushed tools have come down. The new power tool assortment addresses both the changes in technology and promotional shifts along with presenting an updated Master Mechanic offering.
