New Screwfix catalogue with over 18,000 products

(15/01/2008)

The latest Screwfix catalogue (issue 90) boasts over 1,100 pages of low cost building, maintenance and refurbishment items. This bumper New Year issue contains new brands such as Rawlplug, Siemens, Trend and Tacwise, and features offers within most product areas.

Screwfix has introduced over 2,100 new items to the catalogue, bringing the total to over 18,000 products. There is also a chance to win a Belle 4x4 MiniDumper and Ifor Williams Trailer with a combined worth of around £2,800 in a prize draw or, as a runner-up, one of 10 Forge Steel 22-piece tool kits worth £50 each.

New products can be found right across the catalogue and include hand and power tools, fixings, car and van stuff, cleaning, safety and workwear, plumbing, lighting, doors and windows and security items.

Over 280 new products have been added within the Hand and Power Tools sections including five new items from SITE the professional power tool. Designed and manufactured by Makita every tool features exceptional performance with the robustness, precision and reliability that trade professionals demand, but without a hefty price tag. Also exclusive to Screwfix, the new Worx Professional range adds a further eleven lines and introduces the “battery for life” feature. Once purchased, the owner registers the battery on line and, if it fails in normal use, Worx will replace it.

Predator branded saws have joined Trend carpenters jigs and Tacwise hand stapling in the hand tools pages. Shown alongside additions to Kewtech detection equipment and Vitrex tiling tools, these new trade essentials also feature more Forge Steel and Plano hand tools as well as Stanley tool storage systems. Making the most of power tools, over 200 new power tool accessories have also been added including Abranet “dust free” hand sanding.

With extended ranges from Fischer and Mungo, the Fixings section welcomes Rawlplug to its pages with wall plugs and shield anchors as well as injection and frame fixings. The Car and Van Stuff pages feature over 50 new parts including ply lining kits for a variety of vehicles, internal vehicle racking, socket and hex sets from Britool, new lines from Teng and more items in Simoniz body care and Draper automotive accessories

In the Cleaning section, over 60 new lines have seen the launch of Erbauer and Titan wet and dry vacuum cleaners as well as Erbauer and Karcher petrol pressure washers. Additions to the Erbauer workwear and clothing range can also be found in the comprehensive Safety and Workwear pages which highlights more than 280 new products including self-adhesive warning diamonds, braille signs and signage for use on scaffolding and in car parks. Footwear has also taken a leap forward with lighter, non-metallic composite range extensions from DeWalt, a new Dickies storm trainer with anti-static sole, and a new safety wellington with steel midsole.

The extensive Plumbing section has received a boost with over 250 new items such as Yorkshire Kuterlite compression fittings, Fluidmaster toilet fittings and Siemens heating controls. With over 200 new lines, the Lighting pages also shine a spotlight on new range extensions in bathroom lighting, low voltage halogen lighting and low energy bulkheads and lamps. Forming part of the 180 new additions to Security, Masterlock padlocks can now be found alongside ERA and Union branded locks.
