Discover the Latest Tools & Products at the National Hardware Show 2025

yeah I found something unusual at the at the National Hardware Show and I don't think this has anything to do with Hardware but as most of you know I fish and I'm an avid fly fisherman and I just happen to be walking by this booth and I saw this device right here fishing lures and it caught my attention now this is probably the coolest thing I've seen so far at the show so Josh why don't you tell me what the heck do we got going on here is this just is this for show or do I really catch fish with these things no you really catch fish with these we're manufacturer out in San Diego it's a new product we just came up with and it's more so so you don't lose your bait so we have a little trapo here on the this fishing lure you put your bait in here and there's holes so it leaves a scent it swims like a fish looks like a lure but you get the scent of a natural a natural bait so this thing legitimately like swims like a fish swims like a fish so who created it did you create it oh my dad did your dad created that yeah so is your dad a fisherman not so much but this is uh a product he thought of he has fish before but it's a product we thought of and then went through testing and so what's the biggest fish you've caught with one of these things a bass a bass bass is it and yeah like have you caught a lot of bass with these things not a ton no we haven't done this is sort of a new product so how much does that lure cost this one I believe is $20 $25 $25 this one's $25 that's actually a pretty the newer product pretty cool looking thing and so we got some cork stoppers on here cork Stoppers so people don't hurt themselves here but so so people don't hurt themselves it's got a trouble hook on it that's actually pretty cool where can somebody buy one of these things uh right now we don't have any website but here's our number our business number on the bottom here you can call for any uh quotes pricing we have an email here as well and uh a website here on the bottom of the pamphlet so this website right here what will that take you too that will take us to our CNC direct website here we have we're located in elone California and we do various Machining CNC Machining so this isn't the only thing we do but this is one it'll take us to our general website you can contact us there there you have it this isn't only a hardware show this is a fishing show too will that actually make it huh so it's a pivot all so check it out pivot all right there so pivot handle so your your hands aren't like you know twisting moving around probably less likely to get blisters on them I actually like the handle itself cuz I got small hands the handle's actually smaller so easier for me to grip than a traditional wheelbarrow handle so that actually makes makes sense also and I do actually really dig the lime green wheel so here's a product that we just found same booth that had um a couple really cool products on I saw and I saw this slurry tub so you might be familiar as a painter with the outpack the outpack paint station a place where you can dump clean out paint and stuff like that this is kind of like I don't know the same same concept idea but a little bit different um see how it might translate to painting this thing was designed to take concrete dump your concrete slurry in it has a bag right here that the water's actually going to soak through the bag and then it's going to come out a hole right here so all the water is going to seep out then you're going to have the concrete left in here and then you're just going to bag it up and just throw it away as waist so it's kind of a slurry tub kind of a pretty cool idea heavyduty plastic doesn't feel like it's going to break but how can we actually translate this into paint and could I dump paint in here would the water come out of the paint could I dump it into a bucket and then take that water that came out of the paint and add you know outpack slurry solution to it I don't know or maybe we could just throw it in here keep the plug closed throw the slurry solution in here bag it up and then toss it I don't know something that um I'm going to look into messing around with and see if it's a solution to getting rid of paint on the job site and sending it to the landfill now I'm really liking the hardware show cuz we're like really you know up my alley and you know we ran into this thing it's called is it called what is the reaper training system the reaper training system I like shooting and we have all these targets and stuff and every time we take them out they do get damaged the chains get shot up and blasted this thing is a really cool Target system but like Emanuel was saying it actually gives you sound feedback that to know what you're actually hitting cuz if you're at a long distance you may not know what you're hitting but this represents a head this represents the spine this represents the lungs and you're going to get a different sound and tone you know every time and so it looks like it's pretty heavy duty you're is it not going to get all shot up and busted up from like an AR the the angle helps deflect the shot right so it it mitigates the damage on the plate one two this is not ar500 we're using a 64100 holistically tested plate so it's a little harder a little stronger than your normal ar500 plate so so both the angle and the plate is gonna attribute to the longevity of the plate and so and it just mounts on a 4x4 we're just doing this to show people you can mount it on on your fence post if you want to this goes back to my law enforcement days so you know I was a police officer at one time when we're running radar guns and stuff we've got to tune our radar guns you know with tuning forks and so kind of like the same concept they got um gaps Cuts in here that creates a different sound so so I can just I can even hear the difference you know flicking this yeah so totally different sound so this system right here with those those three plates um how much does that thing cost it it's going to depend on the retailer but this unit here just this top here is about 950 bucks right so it's not it's not an inexpensive Target but it seems like it's going to be a Target you'll buy and you'll probably never have to buy another one right right that's the whole idea and again these will last a lot longer you if you buy a lot of metal you like shooting on metal get that reaction it you're going to be buying a lot of metal cuz you you're hitting a 90° Target right so you're really beating up the the metal this deflection allows you to get longer life yeah cuz my targets hang horizontally and they've already um B I've had to replace them multiple times in two years so pretty cool so it is the reaper the reaper training system is what it's called once again cool there you have it another cool product from the National Hardware Show
