Steel Grip

Steel Grip Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked from January 1 to July 31, 2026 across Ace Hardware and Lowe's, Steel Grip generated overall revenue growth of 5.4%, with the most recent month rising 13.1% versus the prior month. Ace Hardware dominates the brand's footprint, accounting for 88% of year-to-date revenue, while Lowe's contributes the remaining 12%. Pricing has trended upward as well, with the average product price reaching $10.51 in the latest month, a 6.7% month-over-month increase and 6.0% higher across the tracked period. The brand's blended average price of $10.31 positions it in the value tier, though individual items span from roughly $8 to nearly $39 depending on retailer. Notably, the same mechanical pick-up tool carries a meaningfully higher shelf price at Lowe's than at Ace Hardware, pointing to differentiated retailer pricing strategies rather than a single national price architecture.
