Allway Tools, Inc.

Allway’s niche is paint sundries. But the Allway product mix is actually broader than that label suggests. Besides paint scrapers and other removal tools, the line includes blades and utility knives, and specialized tools for drywall, wallcoverings, ceramic tile, masonry and flooring. The thrust of the industrial world has been ergonomic product designs to reduce fatigue and on-the-job injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. In response to this demand, Allway currently offers a large selection of soft-handle products, having retrofitted established items and incorporated ergonomic features into new products for easier, faster, and more efficient use with less stress and less possibility of injury. Allway’s leadership in safety knives has prompted risk management departments at a number of Fortune 500 companies to incorporate such items into office and warehouse use for reduced incidence of minor accidents, therefore lowering their workmen’s compensation costs.
