It is worth taking a closer look at this renowned brand and finding out why it is the first choice for many experts. This is a good opportunity to do so, because the IRWIN product range has just hit the shelves of the TME warehouses.
Why IRWIN?
The history of IRWIN dates back to nearly 140 years ago. The company was founded in 1885 by Charles Irwin, and since then the brand has grown and gained a worldwide reputation. The brand’s products are characterised by robust design and high-quality materials, which guarantees the durability of the tools – at the same time, the company is committed to introducing innovative solutions to the market, as well as to adapting its assortment to the needs of today’s users and applications. In addition to a long service life, the key features of the supplier’s products include the ergonomic design of the solutions, which boast simplicity, precision, efficiency, but also by competitive prices. This applies to both hand tools and accessories for screwdrivers, drills, etc. The supplier’s offer is addressed to the widest possible range of customers: carpenters, but also plumbers, technicians and DIY enthusiasts. The range of products introduced to the TME catalogue reflects this diversity.
A short overview of the offer
The table above shows a general overview of IRWIN tools. However, it should be noted that each category is made up of many minor product groups.
Power tool accessories
The new range of products in the TME catalogue is represented most extensively by power tools accessories, primarily drill bits. This is one of IRWIN’s specialties, which is why we have made sure that products such as drill bits for metals, concrete, wood and glass are available to our customers. This range features nearly 200 products, including sets supplied in plastic organisers for proper storage and transport. These include products suitable for percussion drilling (also for SDS-Plus® sockets), drilling holes of significant diameters (up to 22 mm), but also precision components (e.g. 1 mm). In addition, drill bits for walls (concrete or masonry) are available in length variants of up to 1 m. Another important group of IRWIN products are screwdriver bits – also available separately, in sets and in packages. These include, of course, the most common components for 1/4-inch sockets with Phillips, Pozidriv® and Torx® bits. In addition, the supplier also offers cutting discs for wood (saw equipment) and metal (used with grinder), as well as hacksaw blades for jigsaws.
Pliers, shears and knives
The assortment of IRWIN pliers includes both typical universal models (also available in sets) and welding clamps or Morse locking pliers, i.e. accessories with locking jaws and precise pressure regulation.Adjustable pliers (GrooveLock) used in plumbing or mounting glands, belonging to the VICE-GRIP family, are also available from the TME catalogue. This category is complemented by shears for copper, aluminium and steel sheets (tools are available in left- and right-hand variants), and a selection of precision knives for replaceable, breakaway blades. IRWIN knives are made of plastic or metal. The supplier also offers cable insulation strippers.
Woodwork
The supplier’s carpentry tools include, of course, hand saws with the length of 0.35 m and 0.45 m, and a wide range of woodworking clamps (one-handed) with a grip range of up to 900 mm. IRWIN also manufactures bench vices with a rotary base, and professional chisels with the blade width from 6 to 25 mm (available in sets with cases).
Other tools
It is worth remembering that the products from the IRWIN portfolio are new in the TME catalogue, and the assortment presented here will certainly evolve. It already includes a whole range of minor, ‘obvious’ products that it is hard to list separately, from carpenter’s pencils, Allen keys, to knee pads. It is certainly worth taking a look at the supplier’s range, available via the link below – both now and in the future.
