SADDLE BROOK, N.J., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For nearly a century, Arrow® has been the brand trusted by professional contractors for tough, reliable fastening solutions — led by the world-famous T50® staple gun. Today marks a new chapter as Arrow Tool Group introduces its first line of Arrow-branded hand tools, bringing that same legacy of pro-grade quality to DIYers, homeowners, and today’s fast-growing community of thrift-store treasure hunters.
