The inaugural Labor Day Edition organizes practical tools and equipment around four long-weekend project scenarios, informed by a VEVOR survey of 529 U.S. adults with annual household incomes of $75,000 or more.
HOUSTON, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VEVOR, a global home improvement brand, today unveiled the Power Picks: Labor Day Edition, the first installment of a new project-based product selection designed to help consumers find practical tools and equipment for the projects they actually want to get done.
The list is built around four long-weekend scenes—Yard, Garage, Deck and Tailgate—informed by VEVOR's survey findings and the seasonal context of the Labor Day weekend. New survey data show that among 265 respondents who identified specific project areas, 48% selected lawn, yard or garden work, while 35% selected outdoor cooking or entertaining areas.
These real-world project needs give VEVOR a starting point for curating a focused selection of tools and equipment to help Home Creators get the job done.
How the Picks Were Chosen
Power Picks starts with the project, not the product. For the Labor Day Edition, VEVOR first looked at the types of projects consumers are planning to tackle, then narrowed its product selection based on practical performance, ease of use, value and real-world customer feedback.
Each featured pick has a specific reason for making the list—from a standout price or strong performance to a simpler way of getting a common job done. The result is a deliberately limited selection designed to help Home Creators spend less time comparing products and more time getting started.
Yard, before fall
With 48% of Labor Day project planners planning to work on their lawn, yard or garden, outdoor projects are the clearest starting point for the holiday weekend. For homeowners looking to clean up the property before fall arrives, the right equipment can turn a time-consuming seasonal chore into a more manageable project. The Power Picks for yard focus on speed and reach before the season turns.
Why it made the list: A High-Velocity Pick for tackling seasonal yard cleanup with less time and effort. Its 63cc two-cycle engine delivers air speeds of up to 220 MPH, giving homeowners the power to clear leaves and debris efficiently as they prepare their yards for fall.
What customers say: "This is a must buy can't beat the price." —— Jerry
What else you'll reach for: VEVOR Battery-Powered Backpack Sprayer ($82.90).
Tailgate & Season Opener
For many Labor Day project planners, end-of-summer gatherings or football season are part of the weekend equation—turning the holiday into as much a social occasion as a project deadline. The Power Picks for this scene center the cookout.
Why it made the list: A Versatility Pick for keeping food and drinks cold wherever the long weekend takes you—from the driveway to the tailgate. Its 50L dual-zone compressor design can hold up to 60 soda cans and operate from -4°F to 68°F, giving outdoor hosts and road-trippers a more flexible alternative to traditional coolers.
What customers say: "Game changer for road trips and camping!" —— Kristian Anderson
Why it made the list: A Control Pick for taking the cooking outside when Labor Day gatherings move to the patio or tailgate. Its 22-inch cooking surface can handle up to 16 burgers at once, offering an easy way to cook for a crowd without a complicated outdoor setup.
What customers say: "You can cook anything on it and clean up is fast and easy. Stores great and the price was very reasonable." —— Lydia B. Spiers
What else you'll reach for: VEVOR Inverter Generator ($778.90), VEVOR Screen House Tent ($122.90), and VEVOR 8-Pack Landscape Path Lights ($90.90).
Garage reset
Garages, workshops and storage spaces were selected by 35% of surveyed project planners, making them another major Labor Day project area. The Power Picks for the garage cover three practical needs: organizing, repairing and installing.
Why it made the list: A Value Pick for turning unused garage or workshop space into practical storage without a major investment. With five adjustable tiers and a total weight capacity of up to 3,000 pounds, it offers substantial storage capacity at an accessible price.
What customers say: "Great product, great price, I can't say enough about VEVOR!" —— Steven
Why it made the list: A Heavy-Lift Pick for making routine vehicle maintenance more approachable—and turning a tire change into a manageable one-person job. The 5-ton electric hydraulic jack combines lifting, impact wrench and tire inflation functions in one setup, helping DIYers handle roadside or garage maintenance with fewer tools.
What customers say: "This jack is great. It is incredibly easy to use." —— Keith MacWilliams
What else you'll reach for: VEVOR Mechanics Tool Set and Socket Set ($143.90), VEVOR 3/8" Drive Impact Socket Set ($49.90), and VEVOR Mechanics Stool ($59.90).
Deck day
As outdoor entertaining winds down for the season, decks and patios need refreshing. The Power Picks for this scene pair cleaning and refinishing—the two jobs that extend a deck's life into next year.
Why it made the list: A Deep-Clean Pick for tackling the heavier outdoor cleaning jobs that can stand between a worn surface and a refreshed space. With up to 3,600 PSI and a full-copper pump, it delivers the power needed to clean decks, fences, driveways and other outdoor surfaces.
What customers say: "This is by far, the best pressure washer I have ever owned." —— G
Why it made the list: A Time-Saver Pick for making larger painting projects more efficient, with 650W power and up to 3,000 PSI for interior and exterior applications. Its stand-mounted design helps DIYers cover larger wood and metal surfaces more efficiently than traditional brush-and-roller methods.
What customers say: "Paint sprayers have come a long way and VEVOR's price point was amazing." —— Tammy Shaney
From the backyard to the garage, the collection is built around one idea: match the tool to the project, and make the long weekend count.
"Power Picks is about starting with the work people want to get done and selecting only the products that truly earn a place on the list," said Gavin Wu, Brand Director at VEVOR. "For each edition, we'll look at real project needs and choose a focused set of tools and equipment with a clear reason behind every pick. Labor Day Edition marks the first Power Picks edition, with more project-focused selections to come at key moments throughout the year."
This Labor Day, turn the project you've been putting off into the one you finally get done. Power Picks: Labor Day Edition matches the right tool to the right project—nothing more, nothing less. Explore the full edition at VEVOR and discover the project-based picks for the work ahead.
