U-Line. Dual temperature zones make the 1075BEV Beverage Center a convenient solution for storing wine at an appropriate temperature, and other drinks at a chilled lower temperature. The unit stores up to 16 bottles of wine and up to 48 12-ounce bottles or 63 12-ounce cans. Wine racks are kept at approximately 45º F, while glass shelves maintain a cool 38º F. 414.354.0300. www.u-line.com.

Rapid Tools. Just when you thought it was safe to open your toolbox, the Shark hand tool is introduced as the first product to combine a utility knife and wire-stripper, the maker says. Housed together in a rugged, ergonomic case, the Shark is similar in size to most standard utility knives and uses Rapid Edge serrated blades. A pliers-like grip for the wire stripper locks into the body of the knife when not in use. It is spring-loaded for easy opening and comfortable cutting action, with five holes for stripping 10- to 18-gauge wire. 905.336.0553. www.rapidtools.net.

Dwyer Kitchens. When a remodel puts a family’s kitchen out of commission for an extended period of time, consider offering the Temp Kitchen as a thoughtful amenity. A 15-amp circuit is all that’s required for operation. A fully functioning dishwasher comes with easy plumbing hookups. The all-stainless steel unit also features a cooktop, sink, faucet, storage, four grounded outlets, space for a microwave, and a fold-up breakfast bar. 800.822.0092.

The Tapco Group. Available in white, or a spectrum of 16 colors, Mid-America’s IQm Trim Board features an acrylic-based cap that keeps colors from fading over time. The cap covers a colored-foam core that complements the exterior color to give miter-edge cuts a professional look without the need for touch-up painting. The patented AquaFin works along with the trim’s integrated J-channel to direct water away from the face of the wall. 888.289.1169.
