NEW
BRITAIN, Conn., Nov. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stanley Black &
Decker (NYSE: SWK) today debuted its 2024 "Hosting for the
Holidays" Product Guide, an interactive experience for
holiday hosts preparing their homes for the season.
The newly released guide allows visitors to virtually walk from
room to room, experiencing ways to deck the halls, spread holiday
cheer, and spruce up the home in time for the holiday season.
Experts from Stanley Black & Decker weigh in on a selection of
product recommendations from the Company's world class portfolio of
trusted brands including CRAFTSMAN, STANLEY, and Cub Cadet.
"With two-thirds of today's consumers decorating their homes or
cooking something special and one-third hosting at their homes over
the holidays1, Stanley Black & Decker created this
guide to provide an interactive way to explore our products in
every area of the home," said Heidi Ketvertis, Vice
President, North America Marketing, Tools & Outdoor at Stanley
Black & Decker. "Our powerful and innovative brands are
designed to deliver enhanced productivity in the home, especially
during the busiest time of the year for hosting."
Curb Appeal: Snow and Trimming Tips
Though the weather outside may be frightful, the outside of the
home can stay delightful. Need help making a great first impression
as family and friends visit this season?
For those living in a winter wonderland, powerful outdoor
equipment can ensure the driveway is clear for everyone driving
home for the holidays. Toby
Mathieson, Director, Product Management – Snow,
recommends:
- Three-stage snow blowers for places prone to heavy, wet
snowfalls or extreme snow events. The Cub Cadet 3X IntelliPOWER®
Snow Blowers work on slopes, inclines, and gravel driveways, and
can clear up to 23 inches of snow.
- Two-stage snow blowers for areas with smaller but frequent snow
events. For those with lighter snowfall, the CRAFTSMAN Select 24
features a push-button electric start which eliminates
pull-starting a cold engine on freezing mornings.
- A single-stage snow blower for areas more prone to snow
flurries than snow storms. The DEWALT Single Stage Auger Propelled
Snow Blower is designed to clear light snowfall up to 6 inches to
keep driveways and sidewalks clear.
- A compact chainsaw to manuever in crowded wooded areas.The
CRAFTSMAN V20 12 in. Chainsaw Kit is a lighter tool that delivers
pro-level performance.
Dashing Decorations To Help Make Spirits Bright
When it comes to hanging lights, trimming the tree and securing
other decorations both inside and out, make sure you have the right
equipment on standby. Audrey Van de
Castle, Senior Director, Operational Excellence Technology,
recommends:
- Trimming the tree with the CRAFSTMAN V20* Pruner Kit, which can
cut through thick branches with less effort on average than a
manual pruner.
- Chopping firewood and the holiday tree with The STANLEY
FATMAX® 15 in. Saw, that cuts 50% more rapidly than
conventional STANLEY Handsaws.
- Confirming the measurement of string lights with a reliable
measuring tool, like a STANLEY ControlLock Tape Measure.
- Securing decorations with the CRAFTSMAN Brad Nailer, which has a tool-free depth setting
that allows the user to adjust the nail depth quickly to meet the
need of what is being hung.
- Tackling heavier-duty home projects with the CRAFTSMAN V20*
Drill/Driver Kit, which can complete a variety of drilling
applications.
Van de Castle also shares a pro
gifting tip: "I love to give friends a STANLEY tape measure,
because it makes their lives so much easier and is one of those
tools that everyone needs."
Creating a Clean, Cozy Stay
Creating a welcoming, comfortable ambiance begins with a clean
and cozy hosting area. Yvonne Olson,
Senior Product Manager for BLACK+DECKER, provides her top tips for
maintaining a clean and quaint home:
- Focus on time-consuming areas, like the bathroom or living room
first. Give these spaces thorough attention to maintain
cleanlininess throughout the holiday season.
- To make the cleaning more efficient during the holidays, the
BLACK+DECKER SUMMITSERIES Stick Vacuum features edge cleaning
technology that gets around the baseboards and those hard-to-reach
corners. To help with tackling clean-up from room to room, the
dustbuster blast can be easily transported to catch any last-minute
mess.
- Keep things clean in the bathroom when guests are in and out
during this busy holiday season.The BLACK+DECKER SteamMops
eliminate 99.9% of germs and bacteria without using harsh
chemicals.
- For hosts welcoming furry loved ones, the BLACK+DECKER Pet Hair
Remover works on sofas, couches, beds, carpets, and more.
"A win-win, this strategy allows you to maintain an overall
clean environment throughout the holiday, giving you more time to
enjoy the season," said Olson.
Fix a Festive Feast with Ease
To help whip up a festive meal and holiday drinks for your
guests, our experts suggest these helpful kitchen products to save
on time:
- Leave the bartending to bev by BLACK+DECKER Cocktail Machine.
In 60 seconds, guests can create mocktails and cocktails with the
selection of their favorite cocktail pod and the press of a
button.
- For tackling the family recipe with too many steps, the
BLACK+DECKER Kitchen Wand and its range of attachments can help
with every step of meal preparation.
- Consider taking a break from turkey with authentic wood-fired
pizza cooked in the BLACK+DECKER vera™ Pizza Oven.
Turn Your Garage Into Your Wonderland Workshop
As holiday prep is underway, cardboard boxes pile up, gift
wrapping stations grow, and last-minute gifts need an assembly
area. The garage is the perfect space to keep your holiday
operations running smoothly. Our experts recommend:
- Planning out your ideal garage storage solution with various
CRAFTSMAN Cabinets and Chests and CRAFTSMAN Storage
Accessories.
- Using the virtual garage configurator that lets you organize
your garage for ultimate holiday efficiency.
