Arrow® Expands Product Offering with New Hand Tools Collection

Trusted for nearly 100 years, Arrow® expands into hand tools that make DIY, home improvement, and thrifting projects easy.

SADDLE BROOK, N.J., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For nearly a century, Arrow® has been the brand trusted by professional contractors for tough, reliable fastening solutions — led by the world-famous T50® staple gun. Today marks a new chapter as Arrow Tool Group introduces its first line of Arrow-branded hand tools, bringing that same legacy of pro-grade quality to DIYers, homeowners, and today's fast-growing community of thrift-store treasure hunters. Designed to make home projects easier than ever, the new collection is ideal for everything from quick repairs and weekend renovations to upcycled furniture and décor transformations.

"Arrow has always stood for practical solutions that make projects easier," said Roberto Izaguirre, Chief Executive Officer of Arrow Tool Group. "These new hand tools deliver the strength and durability professionals demand but are designed with the accessibility DIYers need — making it simple for anyone to tackle repairs, renovations, or thrifted décor projects with confidence."

Tools That Make Projects Easier

The Arrow Hand Tools Collection is designed with the same philosophy that made the T50® staple gun an icon: tools should be reliable, comfortable, and simple to use. Each product features ergonomic grips, durable materials, and smart design details — from easy-to-read markings on tape measures to built-in blade storage on utility knives — combining professional-grade performance with modern style.
