Steel Grip

Steel Grip Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across Ace Hardware and Lowe's from January 1 to September 30, 2026, Steel Grip's retail footprint remains heavily concentrated in a single banner. Ace Hardware accounts for 86.8% of year-to-date revenue, leaving Lowe's with just 13.0% and limiting the brand's exposure to big-box shopper traffic. Revenue momentum has softened recently, declining 8.7% month over month and falling 18.1% across the tracked trend period. Pricing has held comparatively steady, with the average product price at $10.20 and the most recent monthly average at $10.45, up 1.3% sequentially but down 0.6% overall. That combination of stable pricing against softening revenue suggests volume, rather than discounting, is the primary driver of the recent decline.
