Tool Time for Dickies

New York–based Dickies has struck a licensing deal to launch a new Dickies tool bag line using “RubberWorks” technology to create rubber-bottom tool bags for such tradesmen as carpenters, painters and plumbers. Dickies’ deal is with Yak Pak, which holds the exclusive license for Dickies bags. The durable bags are made with 600-denier polyester and are water and skid resistant. They retail from $24.95 to $39.95 and will debut later this month at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas.
