Arrow Fastener Company was awarded first place in the 2014 Innovation Awards by industry-respected media group, Home Improvement Executive, for the HTT55BL™ Hammer Tacker and PT50® Pneumatic Staple Gun. Both products brought home the Gold Innovation Award in their respective categories. Home Improvement Executive annually selects a recipient for the Innovation Awards based on interviews with retail buyers, store personnel and product achievements.

"We are delighted to be acknowledged as gold winners in both of these categories," says Frank Foster, Director of Marketing and Product Development, Arrow Fastener Company. "It reinforces our brand focus on creating cutting-edge products that really make a difference in the market and for our customers."

The newest Arrow® products merge affordable value with powerful performance. The PT50 pneumatic stapler offers features usually only available in premium priced tools, including bump-fire capability to drive staples quickly and accurately. Arrow also is helping retailers target new sales with a Remington® brand licensed T55R™ target tacker and 505R™ staples. 

The Arrow HT55BL Hammer Tacker packs power into a slim, professional tool that weighs in at only 1.4lbs. Unlike similar tools, its patented quick-load, easy access, magazine saves time, so projects can get done quickly. The durable all-steel construction, chrome magazine and hardened steel internal components makes the HT55BL hammer tacker one of the toughest tools in the tool belt.

Arrow Fastener Company, LLC was founded in 1929 by Morris Abrams and remained a family owned business until it was acquired in 1999 by Masco, a Fortune 500 leading manufacturer of home improvement products. It is a leader in manual, electric and cordless fastening tools for both pros and DIYers. The new Arrow Fastener products are available at hardware retailers and major home centers nationwide.
