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 $2.5 million in the 1996 year to
date period as compared to $172,000 of cash provided by operations in the 1995
period.  Cash provided by operating activitives, exclusive of working capital
changes, increased from $2.5 million in the 1995 period to $4.5 million in
1996 due primarily to improved net earnings.  Additional working capital
investments approximate $7.0 million in the 1996 year to date period compared
to $2.3 million in 1995.  Accounts receivable increases in fiscal 1996 are
primarily a result of overall sales growth, added sales of consumer pruning
tools  with extended payment terms and higher receivables from major custom
cabinetry dealers.  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 the third and fourth quarters.  Working
capital at June 2, 1996 was $20.0 million compared to $13.3 million at
December 3, 1995.  The Company's current ratio of 2.2 to 1 at June 2, 1996
improved from the current ratio of 1.8 to 1 at December 3, 1995.

    Capital expenditures were $1.5 million in the 1996 period compared to
$1.8 million in the 1995 period.  Total capital expenditures for 1996 are
expected to approximate $5.0 million and will be primarily for plant
expansion, 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 June 2,
1996, the balance outstanding under the agreement was $5.3 million and the
available unused credit under the asset-based limitation formula approximated
$12.2 million.  Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company
utilized $7 million of the available balance under the revolving credit
agreement to redeem its outstanding 14% Junior Subordinated Debentures.


Results of Operations  -  Thirteen weeks ended June 2, 1996 compared to
thirteen weeks ended May 28, 1995.

    Consolidated net sales increased by $5.7 million (16.8%) from $33.5
million in the 1995 period to $39.2 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.

    Gross margin increased $1.8 million (15.0%) from $12.2 million in the
1995 period to $14.0 million in the 1996 period.  As a percentage of net
sales, gross margin decreased slightly from 36.4% in the 1995 period to 35.9%
in the 1996 period.  Modest improvements in percentage gross <PAGE> margins
for most product lines were more than offset by increased warranty costs and
labor inefficiencies at custom cabinetry operations and the effect of
increased sales of lower margin consumer products.

    Selling, administrative and general expenses increased by $234,000 (2.5%)
from $9.2 million in the 1995 period to $9.5 million in the 1996 period.
Commissions and other volume related items increased proportionate to the
sales increase.  Engineering costs also increased to reflect added emphasis
on new product development.  These increases were reduced by $500,000 to
reflect an insurance recovery of prior period environmental remediation and
related costs.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, administrative and
general expenses decreased from 27.6% in the 1995 period to 24.2% in the 1996
period.

    Interest expense remained constant at $1.7 million in both the 1995 and
1996 periods.

    The effective income tax rate for the 1996 quarter was 39.0% compared to
40.8% for the 1995 period.  These rates exceed the statutory rate of 34% due
primarily to state income taxes and the tax effect of nondeductible goodwill
amortization.

    Net earnings of $1.8 million ($1.59 per share) in the 1996 period compares
to net earnings of $760,000 ($.64 per share) in the 1995 period.


Results of Operations  - Twenty-six weeks ended June 2, 1996 compared to
twenty-six weeks ended May 28, 1995.

    Consolidated net sales increased by $11.4 million (17.3%) from $65.9
million in the 1995 period to $77.3 million in the 1996 period.  All product
lines experienced increases, however, sales  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 1996 first quarter sales of builder and consumer hardware and
custom cabinetry.

    Gross margin increased $4.0 million (17.4%) from $23.3 million in the
1995 period to $27.3 million in the 1996 period.  As a percentage of net
sales, gross margin was 35.3% in both the 1996 and 1995 periods.  Modest
improvements in percentage gross margins for most product lines were offset
by increased warranty costs and labor inefficiencies at custom cabinetry
operations.

    Selling, administrative and general expenses increased by $1.7 million
(9.6%) from $18.1 million in the 1995 period to $19.8 million in the 1996
period.  Higher commission and other volume related expenses comprised a
significant portion of the increase.  Engineering and product development
costs and an additional provision related to post employment benefits for the
Company's former president and chief executive and its former chairman also
contributed to the increase.  These increases in the 1996 period were reduced
by $500,000 to reflect an insurance recovery of prior period environmental
remediation and related costs.  As a percentage of net sales, selling,
administrative and general expenses decreased from 27.5% in the 1995 period
to 25.7% in the 1996 period.

    Interest expense decreased slightly from $3.4 million in the 1995 period
to $3.3 million in the 1996 period due to lower borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement.

<PAGE>

     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 $2.6 million ($2.23 per share) in the 1996 period compares
to net earnings of $1.9 million ($1.63 per share) in the 1995 period.
