Today's research pack is effectively a rerun of 1 August: the same Huws Gray branch signage story, the same new Häfele colour survey, the same Thompson's packaging and CHUMPround items, and the same run of Milwaukee, Makita, ITS Hub and Toolstop buying-guide and catalogue pages. Nothing in today's captures adds new detail beyond what we've already published, so today's roundup is a pointer round-up rather than a day of fresh launches.
