Of course they couldn’t overlook safety gear and they will be offering a variety of gloves, safety glasses, and knee pads.
Here’s a small part of the official press release:
Today, Walmart announced its investment in a new exclusive tool line that offers customers a wide range of high-quality, high-performance tools for a great value. With the HART line, users can tackle any home improvement or DIY project, no matter their skill set or budget.
Whether working hard or playing hard, our customers trust Walmart for quality products that deliver what they need at the right price. Today, we’re excited to do just that with the launch of a new, exclusive tool line called HART available only at Walmart.
From our customers who have never swung a hammer to those who are DIY enthusiasts or even full-time fixers, it’s all about having the right system of tools to get the job done. We drilled down to better address our customers’ needs and provide them with the products and experiences they want in our stores and online. With HART as the newest member of tool brands offered at Walmart, we are continuing our commitment to help busy families save time and live better – all for a great value at our everyday low prices.
My thoughts: first off I think what Hart has pulled off here is very impressive to say the least. While it’s not surprising that a brand has this much to offer, it’s very impressive that they’re bringing so much to the market at once.
In addition to the new tools, Hart is going to be sold exclusively at Walmart both in stores and online. This is a big push by walmart to have a fully featured range of tools under one brand and these new tools from Hart appear to be a much higher grade than Walmart’s in house brand Hyper Tough. With the Hart tools customers have more selection for heavier duty applications and as all of us know, more competition ultimately gets the consumer a better value.
Personally I’m excited to see how these new Hart tools do at Walmart. Walmart isn’t exactly known for their high grade tools, but it seems they’re looking to break into a new segment of the market and if they can hit a good price point, they’ll give Ryobi, Craftsman and even Bauer at Harbor Freight a run for their money.
Now this raises the question, since Hart is sold at other retailers such as Acme Tools, Home Depot, and Direct tools, will they still be available outside of Walmart? I reached out to Hart and they said once the existing stock is sold out, Hart will only be sold at Walmart. I then asked if the lifetime warranty on the older Hart tools will still be honored, and they told me it will, but customers will have to go through Home Depot or call Hart customer service. Obviously this is a huge change for the Hart Brand, but it looks like they’re committed and off to a good start, so I’m very interested to see where they go.
