Now we have celebrated the new year, we are now back open for 2026! \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to make sure this new year is even better than the last! But before we move on too quickly, we want to highlight those products we uploaded over December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Year, New Items \ud83c\udf1f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Direct2U, we want to make sure you have access to a wide range of products. That is because we understand the importance of being able to tackle all workplace tasks with ease. That is why we want to showcase the brand new items we uploaded before the festive period hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spruce up your Home, Garden and Leisure Space \ud83e\udeb4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thinking of starting a new hobby this new year? Our brand new collection of Home, Garden and Leisure<\/a> items has you covered! This range is great for everyone. It offers waterproof covers for outdoor activities, swimming pools, and even lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our range of Camping and Fishing Equipment<\/a> is faultless for those wishing to start the year off in comfort. To escape the the manic day-to-day rush, we recommend the Dellonda Portable Chair<\/a>. It can recline between 100\u00b0 and 150\u00b0, providing you with the ultimate comfortable position whilst you wait for your bait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dellonda Two-Person Fishing Bevy Tent<\/a> offers protection from the weather for classic British fishing trips. The push-together design makes it quick and easy to assemble, with a sturdy groundsheet to protect you from typically damp ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For those thinking of getting into cooking and baking, our selection of Kitchen equipment<\/a> is perfect for your home! Install one of our ovens or hobs<\/a> in your kitchen, and you will ensure your bakes cook to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In need of an easier method to rustle up your meals at home? Our collection of Air Fryers<\/a> makes the process of cooking easier than ever!

Safety Knives \ud83d\udd2a<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2025, we introduced our latest category – safety knives! Designed with additional accessories and replacement blades, they are sustainable and ideal for a variety of different environments. That way, your safety knife is always sharp and ready for optimal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

These knives are perfect for cutting heavy-duty packaging. They are great for use in warehouses, delivery depots, and more. Plus, they are sustainable for heavy-duty tasks. The Klever ECO Excel XD<\/a> features an ergonomic blade, which should not clog with materials even when used consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These knives are available for purchase in packs of 10. They are great for adding to your collection or sharing with a team. Engineers added reinforced plastic to typical stress points to resist the hectic and rough warehouse environment. This prevents it from breaking under stress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Klever<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We also offer a variety of safety knives for use in crafting projects. The Slice Craft Knife<\/a> features an integrated safety cap that prevents loss. Simply twist the cover and slide it up and down the barrel of the knife, allowing for blade exposure when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can replace the blade at any time with Slice Straight Edge Rounded Tip Blades<\/a>. You do not need extra tools to change it. This lets you cut out sharp and detailed shapes easily. They are great for both hobby and professional crafting projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Slice<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Throwing away your blunt and broken blades once they come to the end of their product life can be a hazardous process. That is why we offer our PHC Blade Disposable Bank<\/a>, available with an additional Wall Bracket<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These containers can hold up to 750 blades. They are easy to dispose of when full. Made from strong plastic, they prevent blades cutting through. This keeps the workplace safe from further threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
