Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
In the Mile High City, Do it Best members and True Value retailers continued their journey together toward integration at the 2026 Spring Market. Hardware Retailing editor and director of content development, Lindsey Thompson, also explored the show floor, looking for new and exciting product picks. Here’s what she found:
Ceramic Nonstick Cookware | Good Cook
The ceramic nonstick cookware from Good Cook is safe, durable and simple to clean, made without PFAs, PFOA, PTFE, lead or cadmium. The aluminum construction heats quickly and evenly for reliable results and the stay-cool ergonomic handles provide comfort and control while cooking. From frying to sautéing, simmering to searing, the ceramic cookware works well on gas, electric, ceramic and glass stovetops. The nonstick surface wipes clean and is dishwasher safe.
“The color caught my eye first—such a pretty blue—but these are also really well made pieces of cookware. The nonstick is a huge bonus—I’ve ruined more than one pan before—and I love that these can be used on any type of stovetop.”
Sunflower Wreath | Pine Tree Farms Inc.
Pine Tree Farms’ Wild Bird Seed utilizes top-quality seeds, grains, peanut butter and peanuts and are used to attract a larger variety of wild birds.
“I’ll be the first to admit that I actually hate birds, but these bird seed wreaths were so cute and would make a great gift for someone who actually loves birds. The packaging was attractive and they come in a variety of designs.”
Utility Kit | Garage Essentials
Maximize vertical space with the Garage Essentials Utility Kit. Store totes or other items on the 20-inch deep shelves while you hang frequently used items from the bars beneath. Fully assembled, this kit will hold up to 1,000 lbs, easily holding a variety of items. Made from powder-coated steel, this kit resists scratches and rust.
“Garage organization systems are not new, but this one caught my eye because of the way you can easily and efficiently keep bikes corralled and organized. And if bikes aren’t an issue in your garage, the utility kit still works great for lawn tools, outdoor toys and other garage junk.”
Low Odor Premium Spray Paint | Rust Oleum
Rust-Oleum Low Odor Water-Based Spray Paint features 40% less odor than traditional spray paint and delivers superior coverage and a durable finish on indoor and outdoor surfaces. Low Odor Water-Based Spray Paint can be used on wood, metal, glass, wicker and most plastics. Its fan spray pattern provides greater control to minimize runs and drips. Low Odor Water-Based Spray Paint features Rust-Oleum’s comfort tip that reduces finger fatigue and allows you to spray from any angle, including upside down.
“This spray paint is not only low oder, but is water-based to make cleanup easier. The spray paint also dries within a few hours and you can re-coat at any time, which means you can finish projects faster. It comes in a variety of modern colors with gloss and matte sheens.”
Multi Top Flip Cap Lids | Masontops
These reusable plastic lids fit perfectly on mason jars and come with a sip/pour spout and flip cap. Each lid includes a silicone gasket to allow you to sip drinks, mix and pour salad dressings and store dry food. The tops are dishwasher safe, made of PA and phthalate-free plastic.
“It’s been six years since mason jars and canning had their moment during the pandemic, but they are still flying off the shelves in many operations. I love that these lids allow you to use mason jars in different ways outside of just canning.”
