Inventions Seen at the National Hardware Show Concepts to Commerce 2026

Rotoshovel

Digging a hole can be one of the hardest things you can do. The cartoons make it look easy, but if you have ever put a shovel to dirt, you know what a pain it is. With this battery operated shovel, you put it in the ground and let the spinning auger do the work.

Genshed

This is a shade umbrella that follows you around. Constantly shifting your set up to stay out of the sun is no longer needed. This umbrella uses smart technology to shift the umbrella for you. It can even roll to a new position.

MultiPail

This bucket comes with a spout, place to roll paint, and measurements inside and out. As a bonus, you can stack them together and they never stick. They also come with a liner that makes for easy cleaning.

Pivot-All Mechanical Push Broom

No more sweeping the garage or back patio with the back and fort motion. This thing kind of works like one of those old rotating lawn mowers. The brush uses the wheels to spin and push dirt forward.

Dooty Brush

Make toilet cleaning easier with this wonder. Not only will it clean up the bowl after an unfortunate incident, it will get that stubborn hard water ring. It gets to the root of the problem under the rim.
