Home Fixated

National Hardware Show 2013 Coverage

Leave a Comment

nhs-2013Every year, I travel with several hundred thousand of my closest media and trade friends to the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. Since NHS isn’t open to the public, coverage from intrepid media outlets like Home Fixated is one of the few ways to find out what’s new and interesting in the world of tools, hardware, and home products. Normally I allow several days to cover the million+ square feet of show floor, but this year circumstances dictate I cover the show in one day. I did that once before and vowed never to do it again given that the show is too huge to cover thoroughly in a week, but I’ll be breaking that vow today (not the vow people usually break in Las Vegas – don’t worry honey). As with prior years, I’ll cover what I can of the show live via Twitter, with follow-ups on interesting products trickling in on HomeFixated in the months after the show. If you’re not already following HomeFixated on Twitter, do it now and you’ll be among the first to know about some great new tools, products and shenanigans – straight from Vegas. Check out all the highlights from our NHS whirlwind visit here!

About Marc Lyman

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine!
