About Trend
Since 1955, Trend has grown into a globally recognised manufacturer of tools and accessories, known for precision engineering and continuous innovation. While the company now offers a broad range of carpentry solutions, it remains highly respected for its routing heritage, where its routers, jigs and cutters have long set industry standards. Trend’s mission is to provide tradespeople with accurate, reliable and safe tools that improve efficiency on every job.
PPE
Trend’s PPE range is designed for today’s safety-driven worksites, offering solutions from disposable masks to full face and head protection. Each product delivers appropriate filtration and comfort depending on the task and material. Good visibility, airflow and compatibility ensure that professionals and DIY users can work safely without slowing productivity.
Sawblades
Trend offers more than 200 sawblades compatible with most major machine brands. The range includes tungsten-tipped blades for clean, durable cutting and PCD-tipped options for abrasive materials. Whether for fast ripping or fine finishing, users can choose a blade tailored to the task. An online compatibility checker helps customers quickly identify the correct blade for their machine.
Abrasives
Trend’s abrasive range delivers long life and consistent results across sanding and finishing work. Meshbacked options offer excellent dust extraction, while film-backed versions provide durability and uniformity. Available as discs, sheets, belts and rolls, the products fit most common sanding machines.
Jigs
Trend’s jigs are valued for their accuracy and timesaving design. The Pro Worktop Cutting Jigs include patented features that maintain precision in tight spaces, while specialist jigs such as Belfast sink and draining groove models – support professional kitchen installation. For doors, the classic Hinge Jig and the adjustable AnyDoor Jig provide flexible solutions, supported by additional Strike and Lock Jigs for consistent hardware fitting.
Routers and Cutters
Routers remain central to Trend’s identity. The compact T1 handles trimming and profiling, while larger models such as the T14 deliver power for demanding work. Trend supports its routers with a wide range of accessories. Its cutter collection, exceeding 2,500 products, is engineered for precision across cabinetry, furniture making, decorative work and CNC applications. Cutter sets make selection easier for users at all experience levels.
Hand Tools and Accessories
Trend also offers pocket hole jigs, hole cutters, measuring tools, sharpening systems, planer blades and jointing accessories including biscuits, dowels and loose tenons. Drill guides and alignment tools help ensure clean, repeatable results.
Looking Ahead to February
Trend’s first appearance at The Hardware Show strengthens its presence in Ireland. Visitors to Stand F27 can expect product demonstrations, expert advice and a clear view of how Trend’s tools and support can help both retailers and tradespeople succeed.
