K-CO Products

What K-CO Products does

K-CO Products is a family-owned U.S. manufacturing company that designs, produces, and distributes branded home and garden hardware, founded by David Kurrasch in 2008 and currently headquartered in Smyrna, Tennessee after relocating from Irvine, California in late 2023. The company operates four core branded product lines: the Little Big Shot® hose nozzle family (manufactured in brass, aluminum, and polyketone variants, with continuous twist-adjustability, up to 60 PSI leak resistance, and 40% water savings versus classic pistol nozzles); the PRO Power™ Super Plunger (marketed as the world's most powerful plunger, delivering up to 140 lb of force); the Master-FLO® flow-control valve (adjustable shut-off to 125 PSI with anti-kink swivel base); and Plant Love™, a USDA Bio-Preferred, plant-based surfactant pest and disease control line offered in concentrate and ready-to-use formulations. The company's secondary line includes GLÜ™, an all-purpose solvent-free adhesive. All products are manufactured in the United States and final-assembled by disabled U.S. veterans sourced through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) program, a partnership that has been in place since 2012 and involves more than 40 veterans cumulatively.

The company monetizes through unit-pricing on individual physical products, with retail price points ranging from $2.95 (Little Big Shot Refurbish Kit) to $29.99 (PRO Power Super Plunger and Plant Love 32oz Concentrate), with the bulk of products priced between $7.99 and $29.99. There is no subscription, recurring, or licensing component. Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via the company's own website (kco-products.com, with FoxyCart checkout), six major U.S. retail chains (The Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, DoItBest, Orgill, and the Made in America Store), and the Amazon marketplace, where the PRO Power Super Plunger earned the Amazon's Choice for Plungers designation in 2025. Target customers are U.S. consumers and small-business/independent hardware buyers purchasing utilitarian home and garden tools, with the Made in America and veteran-assembled credentials serving as the company's primary brand differentiators. K-CO has no disclosed external institutional investment, no parent company, and operates as KCO-Products LLC with an estimated 11–50 employees.
