      <title>Product Price Evaluation</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Steritool is currently evaluating the pricing on all of our products, a review that has not been conducted regularly for quite some time. The recent increase in material and labor costs has made it necessary for us to closely examine our cost versus our selling price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have found that we have been selling more than half of our items at or below cost. However, we have also identified many items where we are able to lower the selling price. We will be implementing these necessary changes and updating our website between now and the end of the year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, we plan to evaluate cost and pricing every 3–6 months to ensure our pricing remains competitive and sustainable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your understanding.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Product Alert - Tweezers</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Steritool is going to be transitioning to Non-Magnetic tweezers as current inventory is depleted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently,&amp;nbsp;our tweezers are made from a 400 series stainless steel, which is magnetic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As were run out our current inventory we will be replacing those items with 300 series stainless steel, which is non-magnetic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be no effect to form, fit or function other than the magnetism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please reach out if you have any questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your continued support and business.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Adjustable Hook Wrench: Design &amp; Price Change.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Due to continued supply chain issues, rising cost of production, transportation, RAW material and the availability of skilled workers, we have changed the design and manufacturing process of our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.steritool.com/hook-pin-wrenches.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;ADJUSTABLE HOOK WRENCHES&lt;/a&gt;. These changes allow us better control over the quality and a shorter turn around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some key points:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;#1 - All components are now 316L Stainless Steel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#2 - Better grip and strength due to increased thickness of hook/jaw as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10221 = .156" thick. Will become .250" thick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10222 = .200" thick. Will become .375" thick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10223 = .277" thick. Will become .500" thick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.steritool.com/3-1/2-89mm-6-1/8-155mm-adjustable-stainless-steel-hook-wrench.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;10224&lt;/a&gt; was .320" thick. Is now .500" thick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10225 = .490" thick. Will become .625" thick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#3 - &lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;Each and every one of us at Steritool are consumers in our professional and personal lives. The last thing we want to do is pay more for anything... unfortunately, quality products made in USA come with a price. We are forced to increase the price of each wrench by about 20%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example: &lt;a href="https://www.steritool.com/3-1/2-89mm-6-1/8-155mm-adjustable-stainless-steel-hook-wrench.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;#10224&lt;/a&gt; has increased from $121.44 each to $145.00 each. Other wrenches in this family will also increase as we complete production and replace old design with new design.&lt;br&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#4 - &lt;a href="https://www.steritool.com/set-5-pc-adjustable-stainless-hook-wrenches-7/8-22mm-9-1/8-231mm.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;5 pc Hook Wrench Set #10226&lt;/a&gt; will ship with mixed designs for the foreseeable future. Old design inventory will be replaced&amp;nbsp;with new design as we sell out of the old design. Until we sell out of all old inventory we will be shipping the set with a mix of both old and new designs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We sincerely apologize for any  inconvenience the design change and price increase may cause. We greatly appreciate your support as we work hard to support your industry with a quality products.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <author>steritool@steritool.com</author>
      <title>NEW LOOK: 10130TC</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the next few months, our part # &lt;a href="https://www.steritool.com/6-150mm-stainless-steel-diagonal-cutters-tungsten-carbide-inserts.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;10130TC&lt;/a&gt; will ship with a different look. Our next batch of 10130TC&amp;nbsp;will omit&amp;nbsp;the gold coating on the handle. This will minimize the chance of any contamination as the tool ages. There will be no change to the quality, warranty, or our dedication to customer service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="/images/10130TC_001.jpg" data-image="vhnisr2yfhmi"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;LEFT: older 10130TC. RIGHT: new 10130TC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your facility uses both 10130TC and 10130SS, there are three ways to identify the parts:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#1 - Laser etched part #.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#2 -&amp;nbsp;The finish: 10130SS = matte finish. 10130TC = semi gloss finish. The change in the finish was implemented to make the TC insert standout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#3 - Visual inspection of the cutters for the TC inserts&lt;/p&gt;</description>
