Fast-growing Internet tool retailer honored by Home Channel News at National Hardware Show
ToolKing.com , Lakewood, Colo., has earned a Golden Hammer Award from
Lebhar-Friedman, Inc., publisher of Home Channel News. The awards
recognize companies and individuals who excel at moving home building
and improvement products from manufacturer to user. ToolKing.com is
receiving the award as “Specialty Retailer of the Year” at the 24th
annual Golden Hammer Awards banquet, held May 6, 2007 at the National
Hardware Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“We are proud and excited
about the attention the Golden Hammer Award brings to our company,”
said founder and managing partner Don Cohen. “It is a real feather in
our cap to be recognized by a publication like Home Channel News. We
view it as an acknowledgment of the service and expertise we bring to
our customers.”
Tool King, LLC, began in 1978 as a tool retail
store in Colorado. Cohen was inspired to make Tool King an Internet
retailer after his second attempt to sell a tool on eBay netted $7.00.
ToolKing.com was launched in 2001 and was recognized just four years
later by Internet Retailer as one of the Internet’s Top 5 Home
Improvement Web sites.
A key ToolKing.com innovation was the
launch of Toologics.com in 2007. On this social networking site tool
users read reviews, view video of tools in action, share their
experiences and ask ToolKing.com experts for specific advice on
selecting and using tools.
ToolKing.com
distributes nearly
20,000 new and factory-reconditioned tools and related products to
customers worldwide. In addition to tools for woodworking, construction
and remodeling, they sell automotive tools, jobsite equipment and
storage, and welding accessories.

There is nothing worse than remodeling/updating a kitchen and making the mistake of installing drawer pulls crooked or off-center. A Drawer Pull Installation Jig is one of those key tools that are necessary to accurately finish the details in a kitchen remodel. The nicest thing about a drawer pull jig is that for $10.99, it's cheap and easy-to-use.
Here's how:
1. Assemble the Drawer Pull Jig and determine the width of your drawer pulls in relation to the jig.
2. Determine the center of your cabinet door trim piece for drawer pull placement.
3. Set the drawer pull so that the specified handle width lines up with the center of the cabinet door trim and mark the holes to drill with a sharp pencil.
4. Drill your holes. When drilling, be sure to hold your drill Level or you could cause a slight misalignment of the holes.
5. Screw in the drawer pulls.
6. Sit back and admire how straight and centered your drawer pulls are!
