PM After Dark Premiere: $8,000 Tool Theft and November Price Increases

Your late-night dose of plumbing, mechanical, and supply industry news

Hello late-night television! Meet the plumbing, mechanical, and supply industries. And welcome to the premiere of PM After Dark, a brand-new video series inspired by your favorite late-night talk shows.

In our debut episode, we're diving into two stories making headlines across the industry. First, we head to Houston, where a plumbing contractor had approximately $8,000 worth of tools and equipment stolen from his work van in a matter of minutes. We break down what happened and share some important reminders about protecting your tools and livelihood. (Hint: Don’t try to be the hero.)

Then, we're talking November price increases. Several manufacturers have announced pricing adjustments, and we've got a rundown of the changes contractors, wholesalers, and other industry professionals should have on their radar.

With a little late-night humor, industry insights and plenty of shop talk, PM After Dark puts a new spin on staying informed.

Pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage and tune in to the first episode of PM After Dark!
