Heres a small part of the official press release:
Walmart today announced that it has invested in a new tool line. This will offer customers a wide variety of high-quality and high-performance tools at a great price. 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. We are proud to announce the launch of HART, a brand new tool line exclusively available at Walmart.
It doesn’t matter if you are a DIY enthusiast or a full-time fixer, or if your customers have never used a hammer before. What matters is having the right tools. We have streamlined our offerings to better meet our customers’ needs. 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. Although it is not surprising for a brand to have so many things to offer, it’s impressive to bring so much to the marketplace at once.
Hart will be exclusively sold at Walmart in stores and online, along with the new tools. Walmart is pushing hard to offer a full-featured range of tools under one brand. The Hart tools appear to be much better than Hyper Tough, which Walmart owns. 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.
I’m excited to see the new Hart tools at Walmart. Walmart isn’t known for its high-quality tools but they seem to be trying to enter a new market segment. If they can reach a good price point, Ryobi, Craftsman, and even Bauer at Harbor Freight will have a tough time beating them.
This raises the question: Hart is also sold at Acme Tools, Home Depot, Direct tools and other retailers, so will they still be available beyond 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 theyre committed and off to a good start, so Im very interested to see where they go.
