When you’re out on the job, your tools need to work as hard as you do and that includes your marking tools.

That’s why professionals across construction, fabrication, and woodworking trust C.H. Hanson’s® Wooden Lumber Crayon Holder, the simple, yet rugged tool that keeps your marks strong and your crayons protected.

The Magnetic Stud Finder with Picture Hanging Kit makes that process intuitive, reliable, and elegant, eliminating frustration and replacing it with craftsmanship.

Whether you're unpacking on moving day or opening a long-awaited delivery, every box you cut intocomes with a tiny bit of risk and a missed opportunity for ease.

The C.H. Hanson pneumatic stamp hammer is a great way to save time and effort for those who stamp today using a traditional (manual) stamping hammer, reduce wear and tear on steel stamps, and save money for a limited time while supplies last.
