Totally Tools Preview Totally DIY & Totally Tools Shows Shaping Up Well
For 2013 The Totally Shows will welcome the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) as first time exhibitors to the shows next February, show organiser Brintex has announced. John Newcomb, the new MD at the BMF said, “This will be our first time exhibiting at the show and we are
looking forward to talking to as many companies as possible. We are always very keen to talk to different audiences and promote the work the BMF does and how it can benefit their company through being a member, as well as bringing merchants and suppliers together in different forums building good, stable, relationships.” Paul Grinsell, of Brintex said: “The BMF’s interest in the show is indicative of the crossover that exists between DIY
and Trade products. Keen DIY’ers like to trade up to professional products, and many of our exhibitors supply into both market sectors. We’re looking forward to working with the BMF to encourage their current members to attend - we’re confident they will find plenty to keep them interested at the show.” The Totally DIY & Totally Tools shows are supported by all the industry trade bodies and wholesalers including the
British Independent Retailers Association (bira) and its buying arm BHF Direct, the British Home Enhancement Trade Association (BHETA), the Garden Industry Manufacturers Association (GIMA) and wholesale groups Stax, Home Hardware and MICA. The mix of suppliers on next year’s exhibitor list is certainly diverse, the line up contains many of the finalists from
the recent DIY Week Awards including Bosmere, Everbuild Building Products, DK Tools Am-tech, Draper Tools, Gorilla Glue, Mykal, Vitax, Vitrex and Yale. Recent new exhibitors to the show this year include two DIY Week Gold Award Winners, LadderLimb, ‘your third
hand on the ladder’, which was awarded Hand Tool Product of the Year and The Solar Centre, which won Gold for its Astron Solar Security Light. Other new companies exhibiting at the show include Spanish door furniture and hardware supplier Nesu sl, the Parkett Freund brand from German company SGH Metall, a leading supplier of profile systems, installation, repair and care products for parquet and laminate floors and stairs and Power Adhesive Ltd, which will be showing its PackPoint and Shoulder Dolly brands.

BBB Adds “COAST” To Totally Line-Up! A new name will be added to BBB’s line-up at the TOTALLY 2013 SHOWS in the shape of ‘COAST ’, already one of America’s leading LED Torch brands and now available in the UK & Ireland for the first time ‘COAST’ has a fantastic line of LED Torches & Head-Torches comprising the very latest innovations in quality,
performance, specifications & features, including their patented ‘Fingertip Speed Focus ™’ for rapid adjustment from Spot- to Flood beam & ‘Beam Lock ™’ for locking the beam in the ideal position, all of which is simply done in a one-handed motion whilst still holding & pointing the torch! All ‘COAST’ torches have highest quality LED’s, producing impressive light outputs up to 615 lumens for the most
demanding of tasks, combined with long run-times and economy in use, with most models operating from simple AA or AAA batteries. Probably the most important & impressive feature of ‘COAST’ products however is the quality and purity of beam,
produced by their patented ‘Pure Beam ™’ Focusing Optic System, which produces pure, white beams without any shadowing or imperfections! Torches & Head-Torches with this feature are specifically designed to produce long-distance beams when in ‘Spot mode’
with a bright core and a wide peripheral halo resulting in more light area & visibility. When used in ‘Flood mode’ the flood beam is approximately double that of most leading brands with a consistency and purity of beam that is simply flawless! As ‘COAST’ summarize it ….”Not just Brighter…
..Better!!” Already selling really well since its introduction in August 2012, this exciting new product range is now Exclusively
available in the UK& Ireland for the first time via BBB Investments Ltd, who add the ‘COAST™’ program to their existing NEXTORCH ™ and myTorch™ ranges. Another great aspect that the ‘COAST’ range brings is their ‘Try Me’ Packaging designed to quickly & clearly convey the
main features of the torch, whilst also allowing the the customer to try out the torch in-store! BBB feel that this will be a valuable sales aid to all ‘COAST’ Distributors and will assist in
stimulating additional awareness, sales and demand across the product range! Point-of-Sale Displays are also available plus ‘COAST’ will be strongly
promoted at 9 National Exhibitions & throughout Trade/Consumer press, from its launch at the beginning of August 2012 through to February 2013!
