New Kits for Professionals

The enhanced C-RHEX selection now features hard-sided Install Kits and Service Kits

The enhanced C-RHEX selection now features hard-sided Install Kits and Service Kits, offering compact solutions for professionals on the move.

Versatile Flip Bit Socket Combinations

The new 7-in-1 Flip Bit socket combinations provide additional options, featuring 3/8” & 7/16” and 1/2” & 9/16” sizes to offer six color-coded, cleanable, reversible socket pairs. Impact-rated for durability, each socket attaches securely to the driver shaft, ensuring safe handling and easy storage.

Ergonomic Premium Grip Handles

The line expansion introduces Premium Grip Handles, which boast ergonomically designed over-molded grips for superior comfort and control. Additionally, these handles come with a washer-style quick-release mechanism for swift and secure bit changes. Available in three styles—Stubby, Standard, and Bit-Storage Handle—the handles cater to varied professional needs.

The Built-In Bit Storage Handle can hold 12 impact-rated bits, including flathead, Phillips, Star, and Robertson bits in multiple sizes.

Impact-Grade GoBlue! Hex Drivers

Additionally, the C-RHEX line now offers a variety pack of the GoBlue! Hex Drivers available in sizes 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8”. These impact-grade drivers are self-adjusting and spring-loaded, adjusting to various fastener head heights for secure and reliable fastening.

Made of S2 hardened steel, GoBlue! Hex Drivers are crafted to endure high torque and vigorous usage with any brand of power tools.

Rebecca Talbot, Vice President of Marketing at The Malco Group, expressed enthusiasm for the expansion, stating, “Malco is excited to offer additional value to trade pros by expanding our popular C-RHEX line. The new kits and socket sizes are great additions that will help pros work faster and smarter.”
