Sheh Kai Concrete Drill Bit
Accredited by PGM from Germany
by Nai-Wen Chang, Fastener World
Drilling Speed up 30% & Durability up 10 Folds
The SDS-Plus series and 3-Cutter/4-Cutter SDSMax series concrete drill bits are the latest creation from Sheh Kai Precision which utilize full-body tungsten carbide design for the drill head and replace the conventional insertion welding method with butt-welding technique; therefore, they gain much better wear resistance, fast chip removal, steady positioning, and high roundness among other excellent performance. After 3 years of research and development, Sheh Kai’s team developed a specially designed tungsten carbide drill bit which reduces the bit’s jiggling in contact with reinforced concrete and significantly increases users’ safety and comfort.
Special Butt-welding Technique & Impact-resistant Design
The newly-designed SDS-Plus and SDSMax series concrete drill bits are tailored to high-strength reinforced concrete. Their special tungsten carbide material tackles users’ problems regarding chip removal, positioning, jiggling and so on once and for all and improves work efficiency. The buttwelding design makes tungsten carbide drill bits more rigid and enables unobstructed passage into reinforced concrete. The new bits have three to ten times longer service life than conventional ones. They reduce the time of bits change and costs, making onsite construction easier and smoother. Therefore, they are concrete drill bits of medium to high cost–performance ratio available on the market.
Professional High-strength Concrete Drill Bits with International Quality Guarantee
The drill bits from Sheh Kai sweeps the market of Japan, Australia, the U.S. and Europe with a global sales record of over 3 million pieces. They are certified to PGM (by Masonry Drill Bit Certification Board), ISO9001 and ISO1400. A renowned wafer company purchased 100 pieces of SDS-Plus concrete drill bits from Sheh Kai for plant construction and were surprised to find that the whole plant only used 37 pieces of the drill bits. “The constructors of the plant exclaimed in wonder! The drill bits are unimaginably much more durable than other construction drill bits!” General Manager Mr. Andy Lin said SDS-Plus concrete drill bits are designed to be impact-resistant and have high precision and roundness. Their quality criteria is to be able to drill 200 holes on concrete of above 10,000 Psi grade with less than 0.1mm of abrasion depth.
Excellent Manufacturing Technique & Care for User Experience
Having mature welding technique and heat treatment, Sheh Kai tries various ways to develop drill bits. The company hears the voice of end users on site and takes 3 years to develop SDS-Plus concrete drill bits. Sheh Kai is adept at welding and flexible use of metal materials. It has established an R&D team which is currently developing more drill products. Sheh Kai is also recruiting sales representatives and strategic partners for its target markets, hoping to develop more products in the power tools accesories field that will satisfy end users.

obtuvo la certificación alemana PGM Aumento de la tasa de penetración en un 30% y durabilidad hasta 10 veces
por Naiwen Zhang, Fastener World
SDS-Plus y SDS-Max, las últimas obras maestras de SHEH KAI, brocas para concreto con tres y cuatro cuchillas, utilizan cabezales de carburo de tungsteno completo, abandonando el método tradicional de soldadura enchufable, sino que cambian el diseño del proceso de soldadura a tope para lograr excelentes rendimientos, tales como una mejor resistencia al desgaste, una rápida eliminación de viruta, posicionamiento estable y alta redondez, etc. Después de casi tres años de investigación y desarrollo por un grupo profesional de I+D, se han desarrollado brocas de carburo de tungsteno especialmente diseñadas para reducir la vibración de la herramienta cuando la barra de acero está en contacto, a fín de mejorar en gran medida la seguridad y la comodidad del usuario.
Tecnología especial de soldadura a tope y diseño de resistencia al alto impacto
Las nuevas brocas para concreto de las series SDS-Plu y SDSMaxs están especialmente diseñadas para concreto reforzado de alta dureza. El carburo de tungsteno se diseña especialmente contra la remoción de viruta, posicionamiento y fluctuación de fase que a menudo se encuentran al final, para resolver los problemas anteriores y mejorar la eficiencia en el trabajo. Sobre todo, el diseño soldado a tope hace que el cabezal de carburo de tungsteno sea más resistente y no se obstruya cuando pasa a través de la barra de acero. La vida útil es de 3 a 10 veces mayor que la broca tradicional, lo que reduce el tiempo para cambiar la broca y reduce el costo del consumo. Es más fácil y conveniente de aplicar en el sitio, y se considera una broca para concreto con alto rendimiento de coste en el mercado corriente.
Garantía internacional de calidad de brocas de concreto profesionales de alta resistencia
Con ventas mundiales de más de 3 millones, populares en Japón, Australia, Estados Unidos y Europa, SHEH KAI ha pasado certificaciónes de PGM ( la asociación alemana de pruebas de broca), ISO9001 y ISO1400. Una famosa empresa de obleas compró de SHEH KAI 100 piezas de SDS-Plus brocas de concreto cuando construyó su fábrica. No esperaba usar solo 37 piezas cuando se completó toda la planta. "La unidad de construcción en el lugar nos exclamó, ¡fue increíble! Comparadas con otras brocas de concreto, es mucho más de lo que se espera que sean duraderas". El Gerente General, Sr. Shangan Lin dice que el diseño de la broca de cremento SDS-Plus se basa en el concepto de resistencia al impacto, alta precisión y alta redondez. Antes de cumplir con el estándar, hay que perforarse 200 orificios en el concreto de 10,000 PSI con el grado de desgaste inferior a 0,1 mm.
Excelente tecnología de fabricación y presta atención a la experiencia del usuario terminal
Con tecnologías de soldadura y tratamiento térmico maduras, SHEH KAI usó varias formas al desarrollar las brocas, examinando la verdadera voz de los usuarios terminales de campo. Tardó 3 años en desarrollar las brocas para concreto SDS-Plus, con técnicas de soldadura hábil y aplicación flexible de materiales metálicos. A través del establecimiento del grupo de investigación y desarrollo, continúa actualmente desarrollando más productos de perforación. Para cada mercado, SHEH KAI también está reclutando agentes y socios de alianzas estratégicas, y espera desarrollar más productos que satisfagan a los usuarios terminales en el campo de las herramientas manuales.

Bülte Launches The “ SF ” Range
The range of levelling/adjustable feet has recently been extended with the “adjustable feet SF” range. The product is composed of a round base (various diameter available) and a hexagon shaped base above the foot. These new adjustable feet have been introduced to the market at the beginning of February 2019. This new range of adjustable feet is fully in Nylon, both the threaded part and the feet, contrary to the levelling feet usually available on the market that are more of a mix between metal and plastic.
In comparison with the metal-plastic combined products, Nylon offers various advantages; it is lighter, cheaper, and easier to recycle. It does not conduct electricity and is also not subject to corrosion. Polyamide thus allows the use of our “adjustable feet SF” in areas subject to corrosion which, for reasons of hygiene or for specific regulations, require materials resistant to it.
The hex end in the base allows for fastening with a spanner. The nylon base, available in 4 different diameters, provides a smooth non-abrasive surface that protects floors. The adjustable

feet then allows adjustment under load. This item is ideal for spanner height adjustable when the product is in application. The adjustable feet with a hex end is an excellent solution for the levelling and height adjustment of a piece of furniture, machinery or general appliance. The hexagon which can be found at the top of the thread can be used for adjusting the height of the feet from above the foot, without having to remove it from the application they are attached to. They are easy to install without specific tools and make sure your work surfaces are both even and secure.
In terms of design, the standard colour of the “adjustable feet SF” is black nylon. But as Polyamide can be colored as one wishes, according to the RAL chart, the “adjustable feet SF” range will be in line with every kind of industrial application, whatever their color might be.
integration with the plant’s existing communications system.
The B44L is available in four models with speed ratings from 243 to 573 rpm and maximum torque ranges of 55 to 120 Nm. The ½" drive is also offered in square, double-ended and flush socket configurations.
Chicago Pneumatic CP7748 Impact Wrench
Chicago
Pneumatic has introduced a new powerful ½” impact wrench for vehicle service specialists. Built upon the heritage of the successful previous model, the CP7748 has been designed to offer operators unparalleled levels of power, comfort and durability and is suitable for workshop or roadside assistance tasks such as tire changing.
Weighing in at just 4.4 lbs (2 kg) and delivering 960 ft. lbs (1,300 Nm) of power in reverse, the CP7748 impact wrench provides a high power-to-weight ratio.
At the heart of the design is an innovative forward/reverse and power control set up based on a ring system, which is more ergonomic than controls on the back of the tool. Users can either change direction by pushing buttons easily with one hand, or simply by turning the ring from anywhere around the tool. The CP7748 also offers two different

Advancedfunction I:“90th anniversary laser marking(PAT).Advanced function II :“G-LESS (loose grip prevention) mechanism” (PAT).
The G-LESS mechanism minimizes any loosening in this direction, resulting in improved ease of use.
Advanced function III : 「 X-DRIVE 」
Thanks to the stress relief structure, the new “X-DRIVE” disperses more stress applied to the edges than the conventional tools. Thus, the X-DRIVE can easily apply torque, enabling stable tightening and
settings in the forward position (40 per cent of maximum power and full power) and a full power setting in reverse. This ring system facilitates the use of the CP7748 in tight places without having to remove the tool to change direction.
The CP7748 can comfortably be used in confined spaces since it is compact. The tool measures only 6.89 inches (175 mm) in length.
Chicago Pneumatic has designed the new impact wrench with durability in mind. Featuring a hard chromium aluminum cylinder that surrounds the motor and twin hammer mechanism, the CP7748 wrench delivers optimum performance in the toughest operating environment.
The CP7748 is also available in 2” anvil.

Henkel is Driving e-Mobility Forward
As all major automotive OEMs and new players are rapidly launching new electric vehicle (EV) models, Henkel is leveraging its broad technology base and many years of expertise and experience to drive the transformation from traditional engines to electrified powertrains. The portfolio combines existing with new technologies to enable costefficient large-scale assembly.
For battery manufacturers in specific, Henkel has identified three major challenges. First, as the value per battery kWh continues to be a significant commercial challenge, materials and adhesives applied in the assembly process of hundreds to thousands of cells in the battery pack need to provide highspeed curing and short cycle times. Second, for operational safety, solutions must comply with thermal management requirements as well as the UL94 flammability standard. Finally, to ensure lifetime performance of EVs, the battery pack housing requires technologies that will allow it to be reopened.

The Brexit Mist Forcing Carmakers and Parts Suppliers to Re-evaluate Production in UK
According to Nikkan (Japanese news provider), the forthcoming Brexit deadline is making carmakers re-consider their production in UK. If it turns out to be a No Deal, the tariff between UK and EU would re-emerge and cast a catastrophic change on the business environment. Nissan said to possibly revoke its production plan for the next SUV model, and Honda said it is likely to move its production out of UK after 2023. Following the carmakers, more and more automotive parts suppliers have started reconsidering.
So far it is still zero tariff between UK and EU, but if the end result is a No Deal, WTO’s rules will come into play and cast tariff on automotive parts, increasing the cost for makers. Honda will end its production in UK by 2021, and while it said this decision did not pertain to Brexit, it is observable that Brexit could have been a factor. BMW is considering to move the production of the “Mini” model to the Netherlands. Furthermore, the president of Piolax, a Japanese automotive fastener maker, said “it is difficult to invest in UK plants”, and he has begun to consider subcontracting partial production in UK to collaborative companies.

Hilti DX-9 / Powder-actuated Nail Gun
The DX 9 is a powder-actuated fastening tool used for fixing metal decking to steel beams. The ergonomics and a self-explanatory form were central to the design development. While the upright working position reduces strain on the operator’s back, the handle minimizes stress on wrists, elbows, and shoulders caused by recoil. Direct fastening is five times faster than traditional jointing methods, such as welding, and it also avoids toxic fumes. A simple display integrated into the handle shows the operator in real time when the tool needs maintenance, helping to prevent unplanned downtime.
BOSCH IXO 6 / Cordless Screwdriver
IXO, the world’s best-selling power tool, is now even more intuitive and reliable thanks to the “furniture-protect” trigger. The new generation of this compact cordless screwdriver gives you the full control in every screw driving application through variable speed control. The more you push the trigger, the faster you go. No more damaged screws, no more splintered wood, for the perfect worry-free DIY experience. The iconic, reduced design underlines the product’s intuitiveness and approachability and brings the screwdriver out of the toolbox into the living environment.
William Tools Screen Slipping T-Handle
Torque / Hand Tool
The Screen Slipping T-handle Torque screwdriver is made from high-tensile metal and eco-friendly materials. It is factory-calibrated to +/-4% and a new mechanism ensures that accuracy is retained for longer. Every wrench is supplied with a calibration certificate to satisfy the requirements of ISO 6789:2017 and ISO 9227(NSS). The core features of the product are a numeric screen display making it easy to read the torque value, an ergonomic grip that offers a better feel than other brands, and an alloy steel pawl which reinforces product stability and reliability.
SW-Stahl Ratchet / Reversible Ratchet
The reversible ratchet from SW-Stahl impresses with its well-balanced design and ergonomic handling. Defined contours, a slim shape and a high-grade finish result in a professional and dynamic overall appearance. The smart details simplify the usage of the reversible ratchet for a smooth workflow: labels on the ratchets head show the direction of rotation, a flattened hole allows an easy mounting and the ergonomically designed handle enables optimal power transmission.
ELESA VB.839 Threearm Knobs
VB.839 three-arm knobs are characterized by an ergonomic design that provides a safe and comfortable grip by allowing the operator to apply a more direct transmission of tightening torque. This new design represents two overlapping triangles shifted to an angle of 8°. Smooth surfaces and lack of cavities ensure easy cleaning. VB.839 is made from technopolymer with center caps in the ELECOLORS chromatic range for perfect aesthetic compatibility between knob and machine.
BOSCH YOUseries / Power Tools
To inspire people living in urban environments, Bosch have developed the new product line YOUseries. Very compact, but also very powerful, these products adapt perfectly to users’ individual needs and lifestyles. They are built and designed to be used and stored in urban environments and to encourage less experienced “DIYers”. The design focuses on making the tools more approachable, easy to use and fun to work with. Across the line, they reduce visual distraction and underline the haptic experience by applying laser finishing for smooth textures.
VBW LightCut Pro / Bolt Cutters
The new VBW LightCut Pro bolt cutter is specially designed for craftsmen working with reinforcement steel and wire mesh in concrete construction. In order to provide back-friendly and fatigue-free working, the two-component plastic-coated telescopic aluminum handles with soft grip zone were designed for safe and vibration-free working. The smoothrunning kinematics and weight-optimized forged steel cutter head saves effort and supports precise cutting. The innovative design is trailblazing, and its optical appearance strongly differentiates it from existing products.

2018 Global Car Production
Major Car Manufacturing Countries Face Bottlenecks, While Emerging Countries Show Eye-Catching Growth Margins
According to the latest statistics of International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the global car production amounted to 95,706,293 units in 2018. Compared to the figure of 2017 (recorded at 96,746,802 units), it showed a slight drop of 1.1%. To view by region, Europe shared 21,333,651 units of production in 2018, down 1.4% from 21,634,302 units in 2017; Americas shared 20,800,328 units, a bit down 0.4% from 20,714,030 units in 2017; AsiaOceania shared 52,449,078 units, down 1.8% from 53,395,211 units in 2017; Africa shared 1,123,236 units, a significant 12.0% increase from 1,003,259 units in 2017. Africa was also the only region in the world showing a two-digit year-onyear growth.
Europe
Stagnant Capacity in W. Europe, But Fast Growth in E. Europe
Germany, Spain, France and the UK have usually been considered the car manufacturing heartlands in Europe; however, the combined performance of these four countries in 2018 does not seem as good as it was before. Although the sum of the annual production of these four countries still represented more than 50% of the Europe’s total, only France showed a slight 2.0% increase from year 2017 and the other countries (Germany/ Spain/the UK) reported a decline within the range of 1-10%. The decline margin of Germany or the UK was even higher than that of Europe, reaching -9.3% and -8.3% respectively. What’s worth mentioning is that the production of Italy, typically considered one of the main car manufacturing countries in Europe, not only has been outperformed by those of Czech Rep. and Slovakia, but also appeared a slump of 7.2% if compared to the data of 2017.
Countries showing significant growths were mainly located in E. Europe, such as Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Slovenia. Their growth margins were within the range of 5.6%-31.1%.
To view from the pan-Europe perspective, countries showing the top 3 growth margins were: Austria (69.7%), Portugal (67.7%) and Romania (31.1%).

The production of America in 2018 did not show a very significant change. Its YoY ratio was only 1%.
The YoY ratios of USA and Mexico were within the range of 0%-1%. However, due to the -7.9% drop of Canada, the combined performance of USA/Canada/Mexico was down 0.2% to 17,436,070 units. Nevertheless, the sum of the production in these three countries still represented more than 80% of the America’s total.

South America, different from its counterpart in N. America, showed a more remarkable production growth margin in 2018, reporting a 4.0% YoY ratio and reaching 3,364,258 units. Main car manufacturing countries in this region were Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. Brazil, in particular, reported a 5.2 YoY ratio (better than the performance of S. America). The production of Brazil even represented more than 85% of S. America’s total, leaving Argentina (the 2nd place) and Colombia (the 3rd place) far behind. Brazil was the country showing the highest YoY ratio in 2018 and Canada was the country showing the worst YoY ratio in the same year.
Asia-Oceania
YoY Ratios of China and S. Korea were Down, But Remained on Top of the List
The production of Asia-Oceania in 2018 remained above the 50 million units level as it was in 2017. Although the production in this region was higher than the combined production in Europe and America, it was still down 1.8% from 2017 and its margin of change was more significant than those of Europe and America.
Top 5 car manufacturing countries were: China, Japan, India, S. Korea and Thailand. China represented more than 50% of the total production in this region. In 2018, except for China and S. Korea showing -4.2% and -2.1% growths respectively, the growths of the other 3 leading countries were all positive and the growths of India and Thailand were even close to 10%. Countries in this region showing dropping production were China, Iran, and Taiwan. Iran and Taiwan even reported two-digit declines.
On the other hand, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan, where major car manufacturers strengthened their investments, all showed growths of around 10% in 2018. However, Vietnam, usually considered one of the hotspots for FDIs, only reported a 0.2% growth.

Russia/Former CIS Countries/Turkey
thousands units per year, the annual production volumes of Russia (plus former CIS countries) and Turkey remained at the level of around 2 million units respectively.
Except for Ukraine showing a significant drop of 22.9%, Russia and other former CIS countries all reported two-digit growths. The region’s largest car manufacturing country, Russia, showed a 13.9% YoY ratio and Belarus even showed a growth margin of up to 73.0%. However, more than 90% of the production in this region was contributed by Russia.
Turkey has a different story, however. In 2018, its annual production reached around 1.55 million units, down 8.6% from the same period in 2017. Turkey originally took the lead in 2017 until Russia outpaced it in 2018.
Table 4. 2018 Car Production of Russia/Former CIS Countries/Turkey in 2018
Morocco Demonstrated Further Growth Potential and South Africa Kept Moderate Growth
South Africa and Morocco are the two largest car manufacturing countries in Africa. In 2018, 610,854 units of cars and 402,085 units of cars were respectively produced in South Africa and Morocco. The total production of these two countries reached more than a million units.
To generalize the performance of the top 5 countries in this region, except for Tunisia showing a decline of 8.0% in 2018, other countries all showed positive growths. The production of Morocco in 2018 not only became closer to that of South Africa, its YoY ratio in the same year was even 5 times that of South Africa. In addition, though the production of Egypt was much less than those of other countries in the region, its production in 2018 was still nearly doubled from the record in 2017.
Conclusion
With the trade tension escalation between the U.S. and China starting in 2018, the promotion of carbon emission reduction policies for new vehicles in Europe and America, and the conditions in the Middle East, the global market continues to be filled with gloom and uncertainties, which indirectly makes investors become more cautious about their investments or determine to temporarily halt their projects. The interplay of these factors may influence the will of leading car manufacturers to make investments. In order to diversify the potential risk, some investors may consider moving to other emerging markets which are not involved in the disputes amongst the economic and political powers and have their products assembled there. This may be why the performance in some emerging markets was comparatively better than that in some developed countries.
These emerging markets are rich in natural resources, able to offer sufficient & inexpensive labor force, and enjoy more favorable tariff rates, so they have recently become the key focal points in the global automotive market. Although Europe, USA, and China still take the lion’s share altogether in the global car sales, the growth rates in these emerging markets were still far above the level of other major car manufacturing countries which reported almost stagnant growths in the same year.

In addition, reps from fastener related companies (Nasalok, Bossard and Doerken, for example) were also present. A majority of visitors coming to the trade fair this year were local businesses, or branches set up by overseas leading companies. There were also visitors from Thailand, S. Korea, Japan, Myanmar and Cambodia.
According to the organizers, the next edition of Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will take place March 5-7, 2020.
Istanbul Hardware Fair
Istanbul Hardware Fair took place March 14 to 17 in Istanbul which is full of business opportunities by neighboring the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. This Fair was also considered by buyers from Turkey and many neighboring European countries to be one of the most important hardware fairs in the world. The geographical advantage of Istanbul drew many manufacturers and
buyers to the Fair to look for opportunities. Turkey has a population of above 80 million with a considerable domestic market and vibrant demand in the automotive components and construction industries. The forthcoming business opportunities are very promising.
The Fair was held in Hall 9 and Hall 10 of Istanbul Expo Center this year. A total of 153 exhibitors took part in this event, and 142 Turkish exhibitors made up the largest exhibitors group. Other exhibitors from around the world included those from Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and China. China made up the largest overseas exhibitors group and Wiha from Germany was also present as one of the exhibitors. The Fair this year displayed hand tools, electric tools, gardening tools, DIY tools and accessories. Fastener exhibitors were relatively fewer and Sormat, a major fastener company in Turkey, appeared at the show as well.
Our correspondent reported that there were many small and medium traders at the Fair who trade various hardware and tools. An interviewee said he visited Taiwan Hardware Show once and was very impressed with the quality and cost performance ratio of Taiwanese products. Most of the visitors to this Fair were local companies. Exhibitors were there for exchange of know-how and showcase of their latest products. The Fair was located where there is good public transport. The Fair was adjacent to the main traffic line and was only one stop away by subway from the airport.

Overview of China’s Fastening Tools Market
by Behrooz Lotfian
In this article, we will study the trade statistics of fastening tools in China based on the following HS Codes.
• HS code 8205: Hand tools, incl. glaziers' diamonds, of base metal, n.e.s.; blowlamps and the like; vices, clamps and the like (other than accessories for and parts of, machine tools); anvils; portable forges; hand-operated or pedal-operated grinding wheels with frameworks.
• HS Code 8207: Tools, interchangeable, for hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or for machine tools "e.g. for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screw driving", incl. dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock-drilling or earth-boring tools.
Export
The export value of China in these two categories is over 6.2 billion USD. China is one of the main suppliers of fastening tooling in the world.
The main market for China-made tools is USA, and Germany is ranked as the 2nd biggest market for Chinese tools.
The right graph proves that China is the main supplier of tools in the world, and its tools are not exported to a specific market except for USA.
• USA is the biggest buyer of Chinese tools. It bought 22.2% to 24.4% of Chinese exported tools. The graph reveals that tools exported from China to USA have a positive trend, but based on increased entrance goods tax from China to USA, it is predictable that this market share will drop in 2019.
• Germany as the 2 nd biggest Chinese tools buyer has a notable distance with USA. It bought tools 5.5 times less than USA.
• Other countries including more than 190 countries bought about 70% of Chinese tools.
Import
The import value of China in these two categories is 1.8 billion USD. It means Chinese market is a notable market for tools, too. However, the following table shows that
• China is an independent country in terms of HS Code 8205, as in this category its export is more than 20 times bigger than its import.
• In terms of HS Code 8207, China’s export is 2 times bigger than its import. In a classic analysis, it means that China is an independent country in this category, too, but the 1.8 billion USD import value is also a huge amount that makes China’s market notable for the tooling exporters.
• Germany is the main partner of China in the import of 8205 and 8207, while USA and Japan are ranked in the 2nd places respectively in 8205 and 8027. However, Japan’s tools export value is 20 times higher than that of the US.
The graph below shows the import of HS Code 8207. As the import numbers of HS Code 8205 are much smaller than those of HS Code 8207, they are eliminated in the import graph.
The graph below reveals that Germany could increase its share in China’s tools import. Although it started with 17.3% in 2014, it reached 26.0% in 2018.
Japan also recorded 26.2% in 2016, but its export decreased in 2017 and fell behind Germany in 2018.
These two countries (Japan and Germany) satisfied 50% of required tools in China, and the remaining 50% was satisfied by other 200 countries.
In this case, we can assume that these two countries are China's major partners and it means that Chinese suppliers have focused on products of these two countries.
What will Happen in 2019?
USA has started a trade war with China by increasing the tariffs, and China as one of the biggest tools producers is being affected. It is very normal that China starts to strengthen its relationship with the other major economies like Germany and Japan. On the other hand, countries in the West have a good relationship with the US and they will be afraid of working with China because of US penalty, and therefore, the relations between Germany and USA, Japan and USA make this equilibrium (ChinaJapan and China–Germany) complicated.
The right table compares the tools business between China and its main partners.
Reduced business between the US and China is very clear. China decreased its import from the U.S. by 19.2% and the U.S. decreased its tools import from China by 27.7% in the 8205 categories.
Based on the USA-Germany relationship, Germany also decreased its tools import from China by 19.2%, but China increased its import through Germany by 6.1%.
This trade war has decreased China’s market by 18.0% in the HS code 8205, and its import in this category also decreased by about 5%.
In the category of 8207, the trade war between China and USA has decreased US import from China by 27% and Germany also decreased its import from China in this category by 0.4%. This war has decreased the market of China about 15% in the world.
The same goes for 8205. In this category China increased its tool import from Germany and Japan very sharply.
2019 and 2020 will be very challenging years for China and the reaction of China is the key point of this war.
UK’s and Ireland’s Fastening Tools Trade Statistics and Business Opportunities for Suppliers
by Behrooz Lot fi an
A comparison between UK and Ireland markets for fastening tools (below HS Code) is studied in this article.
• 8204 Hand-operated spanners and wrenches, incl. torque meter wrenches (excluding tap wrenches), of base metal; interchangeable spanner sockets, with or without handles, of base metal.
• 820540 Hand-operated screwdrivers.
Import Category:
HS Code 8204
Note that all numbers are in thousand USD.
T he size of the world market in HS code 8204 in 2018 was 3.3 billion USD. UK as the 5th biggest market in the world bought 3.9% of the whole exported tools in the world. In this term, UK market was around 5.8 times bigger than the Ireland market.
The top countries that exported their tools to UK are:
72% of the required tools in UK were exported by China, Taiwan, Germany and USA.
The countries that exported their tools to Ireland are:
82% of the required tools in Ireland were exported by UK, China, India and USA.
The interesting points in the statistics are:
1- 38% of the required tools in Ireland were imported through UK. It means UK can be a gateway to Ireland.
2- Ch ina’s market share in each country: 24% in UK, but 17% in Ireland. It can be assumed that part of Chinese tools were reexported to Ireland through UK.
3- Taiwan and Germany didn’t have a notable direct market share in Ireland.
4- And the big question is why India did not have a notable market share in UK, when they could export their tools to Ireland?
HS Code 820540
The size of the world market in HS code 820540 in 2018 was 910 million USD. UK imported about 4.6% of the whole tools in this category. In this term, UK market was around 12.8 times bigger than the Ireland market.
Import in 2018
Code 820540
The countries that exported their tools to UK are:
56% of the required tools in UK were exported by Germany and China.
The countries that exported their tools to Ireland are:
87% of the required tools in Ireland were exported by UK, USA, Germany and China.
The interesting points in these statistics are:
1- 33% of the required tools in Ireland were imported through UK. It is proved that UK can be a gateway to Ireland.
2- Ch ina’s market share in each country: 22% in UK, but 12% in Ireland. It is proved that part of Chinese tools were re-exported to Ireland through UK.
3- In t his sector, Germany had the same situation with China. Germany had 34% of UK market share, but its market share in Ireland was about 15%.
Export Category:
HS Code 8204
Note that all numbers are in thousand USD.
The world size of exported tools in HS code 8204 in 2018 was 3.0 billion USD. In this term, UK market was 7.7 times bigger than the Ireland market.
80% of the exported tools from Ireland were imported by Germany and UK.
The interesting points in these statistics are:
1- Th e biggest share in UK statistics was 12% for Germany, which means UK didn’t have any specific market for tools.
2- Ireland sent 80% of its exported tools to two countries- Germany and UK, which were the main markets for Ireland tools
HS Code 820540
The size of the world market in HS code 820540 in 2018 was 900 million USD. UK exported about 1.9% of the whole tools in this category. In this term, UK market was around 193.3 times bigger than the Ireland market.
40% of the exported tools from UK were imported by Germany, USA, Ireland and France. The above statistics reveal that the main market for UK tools was Europe.
42% of the exported tools from UK were imported by Germany, USA, and France.
The countries that imported their tools from Ireland are:
70% of the exported tools from Ireland were imported by USA, UK and Uruguay. The interesting point in these statistics are:
Almost the notes in the HS code 8204 are proved in HS code 820540.
Export/Import Notes:
If we compare the import numbers with the export numbers, it will be clear that the UK export is 43% of its import in HS Code 8204 and 41% of its import in HS Code 820540, and therefore, it is a dependent country, but Ireland is a super dependent country in terms of HS code 820540 and a dependent country in the category of 8204.
Last Note:
Based on the macro economical numbers of these two countries shown below in one hand and based on UK Brexit on the other hand, as well as the fact that Ireland is one of the UK’s largest trading partners, it is suggested that UK companies should start to set up a brand of their tools factories in Ireland, then they can continue their tools export without any problem to the EU.
U.S. Import and Export of Hand Tools - Q1 2019
Data note: The data for this article is derived from the US Census trade statistics. US Census trade statistics analyze imports and exports on all modes of transportation. That value is calculated in USD by general CIF for imports and FOB for exports. Hand tools in this article are defined as any product under HS Codes 820411 (spanners and wrenches, hand operated, non-adjustable), 820412 (spanners and wrenches, hand operated, adjustable), 820420 (socket wrenches with or without handles), 820510 (drilling, threading or tapping tools), 820540 (screwdrivers and parts thereof), 820720 (dies for drawing or extruding metal), 820740 (tools for tapping or threading), 820790 (interchangeable tools others, and parts thereof).
Have the Recent Changes on Steel Tariffs Impacted the US Market of Hand Tools?
Major US steel importers have faced continuous challenges over the last year due to fluctuating tariffs on Chinese imports. The increase on Chinese tariffs have impacted the cost of all the raw materials that are being imported into the US for manufacturing, but have also impacted the cost of imported hand tools. An increase on tariffs ultimately ends up impacting both the imported goods, but a lso the domestically manufactured goods.
Imports of Hand Tools to the U.S.
by Sabrina Rodriguez
Due to the Chinese tariffs, major importers of hand tools such as Stanley Black & Decker and major distributors of hand tools such as The Home Depot have been impacted. Has the tumultuous political climate caused some of the major US hand tool importers to begin to reconsider their sourcing strategies? What kind of financial impact are major hand tool importers like Stanley Black & Decker facing due to the increase in steel tariffs?
US Imports of Hand Tools – Has There been a Significant Increase in 2019?
US Imports of hand tools classified under 820420 and 820411 have shown the most significant increases in Q1 of 2019 by comparison to Q1 of 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, imports of 820420 increased by a total value of $22,527,134 and imports of 820411 increased by $21,613.556. US imports for most other hand tools are also on a steady incline. Hand tools classified under 820540, 820740 and 820412 all increased in Q1 of 2019 by more than 10%. On the other hand, imports for hand tools classified under HS categories 820790 and 820720 decreased in Q1 of 2019. 820790 reflected the largest decrease of $1,584,138 followed by 820720 with a decrease of $1,278,287. Ove rall, imports of hand tools increased by a notable 18% in Q1 of 2019 which translates to a total of $55,619,727 more than in Q1 of 2018.
Where is the US Primarily Sourcing Hand Tools from?
It should come as no surprise that China is the number one trading partner with the US. Hand tool imports to the US from China i ncreased by $26,844,715 during the first quarter of 2019, which equates to a 20% increase when compared to imports during the first quarter of 2018. Taiwan, Germany, Japan and Canada follow as the four largest trading partners for both Q1 of 2018 and Q1 of 2019. Taiwan significantly increased its trade on hand tools with the US by $14,414,316 during the first quarter of 2019. Meanwhile, several European countries decreased their trade with the US during Q1 of 2019. Switzerland, Czech Republic, Finland and Sweden are amongst those European nations that decreased their hand tool trade with the US during the first quarter of 2019.

US Exports of Hand Tools – Has There been a Decline in Exports of Domestically Manufactured Hand Tools?
Hand tools exports from the US classified under HS 820420 showed the most notable increase in Q1 of 2019 by comparison to Q1 of 2018. HS 820420 presented an increased value during Q1 of 2019 of $2,819,924 which translates into a 15% increase. HS codes 820411 and 820510 were the only other classifications of hand tools that showed an increase in Q1 of 2019. Hand tools classified under 820720 and 820412 showed the largest decline in value in Q1 of 2019 when compared to their values in Q1 of 2018. HS 820720 decreased in Q1 of 2019 by $2,961,372 which is a total decrease of 15%, and 820412 decreased by $2,182,807 which is a total decrease of nearly 17%. Hand tools classified under 820790, 820740 and 820540 also decreased during the first quarter of 2019. In conclusions, US exports of hand tools decreased in Q1 of 2019 by $1,906,869.
Exports of Hand Tools from the U.S. to Other Countries
Obs.: EXPORT INTENTION Figures hold to seasonal adjustments and rounding Source: U.S. Census Bureau.
Canada and Mexico remain the two largest US trading partners in terms of hand tool exports. US exports of hand tools to Canada increased in Q1 of 2019 by $189,884, while exports to Mexico increased by $4,966,169 during Q1 of 2019. US exports of hand tools to Germany and Japan decreased in Q1 of 2019 by comparison to Q1 of 2018. While China may be the number one trading partner for US imports of hand tools, it ranks as the 6th largest trading partner for US exports of hand tool. US exports to China decreased by nearly 20% in Q1 of 2019 when compared to Q1 of 2018. Similarly, US exports to South Korea also showed a decrease in Q1 of 2019 by 26%.
The Future of US Imports and Exports of Hand Tools
The geopolitical climate has shown to be very unstable with the current US administration, particularly when it comes to trade. Considering the first quarter of 2019, US imports of hand tools seem to have increased by $55,619,727 while US exports of hand tools have decreased by $1,906,869. The future of hand tool imports and exports is unpredictable judging from the recent instability of steel tariffs. If tariffs continue to increase for China imports to the US, or if high tariffs begin to appear for another one of the major US trading partners, US importers will need to reconsider their foreign suppliers. Only time will tell if tariff changes will impact the hand tool market in the US.
