Why Tradespeople are Going Plugless.
Posted on 12-06-2026
Walk around any major trade show and you'll quickly discover which products genuinely capture attention and which ones simply blend into the background. At ELEX 2026, one fixing solution consistently drew crowds, questions, and repeat demonstrations: K9SCREWS.
The reason was simple.
When electricians, contractors, and installers saw a K9SCREW driven directly into masonry without the need for a wall plug, the reaction was immediate. Faster installation, fewer components, less hassle. In an industry where every minute matters, tradespeople are constantly looking for products that save time without compromising performance. K9SCREWS deliver exactly that.
A PRODUCT TRADESPEOPLE UNDERSTAND IN SECONDS
At our ELEX demonstrations, visitors watched K9SCREWS drive smoothly into cinder block with exceptional bite and holding power. No wall plug. No unnecessary steps. Just drill, drive, and secure. The simplicity resonated with electricians looking for a more efficient way to fix directly into masonry, concrete, and stone. Many visitors who stopped for a demonstration returned later with colleagues to see it again. That's often the strongest indication that a product has genuine market potential.
