SADDLE BROOK, N.J., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arrow Tool Group, a leader in fastening solutions, hand tools, and innovative workspace accessories, is teaming up with DIY content creator Serena Appiah of Thrift Diving to launch the 30-Day Fall Overhaul Challenge — a nationwide movement encouraging homeowners, renters, and DIY enthusiasts to transform one space, room, or project in 30 days.

The challenge kicks off with a live event on August 13, 2025, where Serena Appiah will demonstrate how to reupholster thrifted furniture using Arrow tools. Official challenge activities will run from September 1 to September 30, with participants tracking their transformations, sharing before-and-after photos, and staying motivated through weekly tips, emails, and social media engagement.

The campaign also marks the exciting launch of two new product categories from Arrow Tool Group:

Arrow Hand Tools – Built for comfort, durability, and pro-level results, this line includes PRO-lock and Self-lock tape measures with large easy-to-read blade markings, a full range of utility knives with built-in blade storage, fiberglass and one-piece steel forged hammers with dual durometer grips, and much more. These tools were designed with makers in mind, delivering rugged performance at a smart value.

Arrow Office Supplies – This stylish, functional lineup with the same superior quality of our legacy tools includes mini staplers, sleek full-strip desktop models, ergonomic plier staplers, and ultra-sharp precision scissors — all packed with smart features like staple alignment guides, soft-touch grips, and built-in storage. Whether you're organizing your home office or tackling your Monday to-do list, Arrow's new desk tools are designed to deliver performance you can count on.

Arrow Tool Group has been a trusted name in the tool industry for nearly a century, known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and durability. Its legacy began with the iconic T50® staple gun, the world's best-selling heavy-duty stapler and a go-to for generations of pros and DIYers alike. Today, Arrow continues to build on that heritage, expanding its portfolio to meet the evolving needs of makers, homeowners, and professionals everywhere.

"Fall is the perfect time to refresh your space — and your toolbox," said Serena Appiah. "Whether you're refinishing thrifted finds or upgrading your home office, Arrow's new hand tools and office supplies make it easier, smarter — and more stylish — to get it done."
