ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash requirements relate primarily to the seasonal
financing of working capital, purchase of property, plant and equipment,
business acquisition opportunities, servicing outstanding debt and cash 
dividends.  Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the major
source of the Company's funds and is expected to satisfy a substantial
portion of future cash needs.  These funds have been augmented by long-term
borrowings under a revolving credit agreement.

     Cash used in operating activities totaled $3.6 million in the 1996 period
as compared to $2.1 million in the 1995 period.  The use of cash during the
first quarter of both fiscal 1996 and 1995 results from increases in accounts
receivable and inventories and follows the normal seasonal pattern of
business activity.  Accounts receivable increases are due primarily to the
seasonal sales of pruning and harvesting tools and other volume increases.
Inventory increases in fiscal 1996 and 1995 reflect both the higher current
level of business activity and, for most operations, anticipated increases in
sales during subsequent quarters.  Working capital at March 3, 1996 was $18.6
million compared to $13.3 million at December  3, 1995.  The Company's
current ratio of 2.0 to 1 at March 3, 1996 improved from the current ratio of
1.8 to 1 at December 3, 1995.

     Capital expenditures were $643,000 in the 1996 period and $645,000 in the
1995 period. Total capital expenditures for 1996 are expected to approximate
$5.0 million and will be primarily for new products, profit improvement and
replacement.

    The Senior Subordinated Debentures require annual sinking fund payments;
however, as a result of the repurchase of debentures in 1990 and 1991, no
principal maturities are due until 1999. Under the terms of the revolving
credit agreement, the Company can borrow up to $20 million.  As of March 3,
1996, the balance outstanding under the agreement was $5.7 million and the
available unused credit under the asset-based limitation formula approximated
$12.9 million.

Results of Operations - Thirteen weeks ended March 3, 1996 compared to
thirteen weeks ended February 26, 1995.

    Consolidated net sales increased by $5.7 million (17.8%) from $32.4
million in the 1995 period to $38.1 million in the 1996 period.  All product
lines experienced increases, however, sales for the 1996 quarter were
particularly strong in pruning and harvesting tools, commercial security
products and systems, and water source heat pumps.  Severe winter weather in
the northeast adversely affected the sales of builder and consumer hardware
and custom cabinetry.

    Gross margin increased $2.2 million (20.1%) from $11.1 million in the 1995
period to $13.3 million in the 1996 period.  As a percentage of net sales,
gross margin improved modestly to 34.8% in the 1996 period compared to 34.1%
in the 1995 period.  The improvement is due primarily to a favorable product
mix with higher margin product lines experiencing the largest volume
increases.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses increased by $1.5 million
(17.0%) from $8.9 million in the 1995 period to $10.4 million in the 1996
period.  Higher commission, freight and other volume related expenses
comprised a significant portion of the increase.  Engineering and product
development costs and an additional provision related to postemployment
benefits for the Company's former president and chief executive and its
former chairman also contributed to the increase.  As a percentage of net
sales, selling, administrative and general expenses decreased from 27.4% in
the 1995 period to 27.2% in the 1996 period.

    Interest expense decreased slightly from $1.7 million in the 1995 period
to $1.6 million in the 1996 period  due to lower borrowings under the
revolving credit agreement.

    Other income in the 1995 period included a gain of $800,000 on the sale of
the Company's Leigh business.  This gain was revised downward to $270,000 in
subsequent quarters of fiscal 1995.

    The 1996 provision for income taxes exceeds the amount expected using the
statutory rate of 34% due primarily to state income taxes and the tax effect
of nondeductible goodwill amortization.  The 1995 provision for income taxes
is less than the expected amount due to a tax benefit from the sale of the
Leigh businesses.

    Net earnings of $759,000 ($.64 per share) in the 1996 period compares to
net earnings of $1.1 million ($.99 per share) in the 1995 period.
