Metric black colored fasteners were the newest, and most popular, product on display at the Midwest Fastener booth.
Attendees move down the crowded aisles and find the large and busy Midwest Fastener booth.
“The metric is booming right now,” said Jared Kemp, category manager with Midwest Fastener.
“The stainless metric is popular; and the black colored stainless metric fastener, used in outdoor products and patio items for instance, is the newest, hottest seller right now,” he said, showing off the product in his hand.
Christmas items are on display in one of the aisles, right next to garden and outdoor aisles.
Just a stone skip away is the Grabber booth, showing off its popular hand warmers carried by many hardware stores.
