Today's only genuinely new item is on the merchant side rather than tools: Huws Gray has extended its sponsorship partnership with Professional Game Referees for a further two years. Everything else in today's pull is a continuation of stories already covered this week, Triton Tools' new UK distributor, Availo-Trade's job-matching platform, Makita's garden tool restock, and the weekend DIY project guide we published yesterday.

Watchlist
- Huws Gray / Pro Ref: watching for confirmed detail on what the renewed partnership actually includes beyond the headline extension.
- Triton Tools stockist list: still no confirmed list of UK retailers carrying stock under the new TradeSafe distribution arrangement.
- DeWalt circular saw content cluster: a third piece from Toolden built around the same cordless circular saw this week would be a strong signal of a new model launch; worth checking their feed directly if that happens.
