Fasteners, Inc.

What Fasteners, Inc. does

Fasteners, Inc. (DBA Fasteners Inc Tool Outlet) is a family-owned, private retailer of power tools, hand tools, fasteners, safety gear, machine tools, air tools, storage systems, and related hardware, headquartered in Redding, California. The company distributes over 40,000 SKUs sourced from more than 250 manufacturers through a multi-channel model: 9 physical retail showrooms across California, Nevada, and Oregon (San Leandro, Sacramento, San Jose, Anderson, Reno, Redding, Medford, Red Bluff, Fresno), a Redding-based warehouse/distribution facility, a dedicated online sales office, and a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront that ships nationwide with free shipping on orders over $150. Authorized dealer relationships with flagship professional brands — Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Klein Tools, Knipex, Diablo, Occidental Leather, and IronClad — anchor the assortment.

The primary customer base is professional contractors (electricians, plumbers, general contractors) requiring reliable access to professional-grade tools and competitive bulk pricing, with DIY and home-improvement consumers as a secondary segment. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time transactional hardware sales at standard unit pricing, supplemented by a bulk/volume quote channel for larger orders with custom pricing and freight quotes. Marketing is conducted via the e-commerce site, digital sales flyers, an event calendar (including Super Sales, Black Friday, and 12 Days of Christmas promotions), email newsletters, and in-store events. The operating model is fully conventional retail with no disclosed AI, proprietary technology, or recurring-revenue components.

The company has no institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity disclosed; ownership is founder/family-controlled and it has not raised outside funding rounds. Recent strategic emphasis is on physical footprint expansion ('many more' locations planned), deepening authorized-brand partnerships, growing e-commerce reach beyond the Western US, and capturing larger contractor accounts through the bulk-quote channel.
