HOUSTON, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In many people’s imagination, the roar of a power drill and the sparks of a welding torch are often associated with something rugged—and something male.

But the reality inside American homes tells a different story. According to the 2024 results of the American Time Use Survey by the U.S. Department of Labor, 87% of women spend time on household activities on an average day, including housework, lawn and garden care, vehicle maintenance and repair, and home maintenance, decoration, and renovation.

VEVOR has been collecting user stories and witnessing how its female users are empowered to do so. Step into VEVOR’s user community across the United States, and you’ll see that reality in action.

In Texas, a woman pressure-washes her patio with a gas-powered cold-water pressure washer. Wherever the stream passes, the brick and stone reveal their original clean texture. In a studio in Philadelphia, an airless paint sprayer gives a wall an entirely new color. In a garage in Seattle, a mechanical tool set has just helped her tighten and reinforce her child’s swing set.

From home renovation to car maintenance, from yard care to creative DIY projects—everywhere something needs to be built, repaired, or improved, you’ll find women working with focus, confidence and VEVOR solutions.

1. Giving Time Back to Life

During product development, VEVOR noticed an interesting pattern: many women give up on a project not because the work itself is difficult, but because the preparation and cleanup take too much time.

One user from Texas shared her story. She loves caring for her yard, but the most frustrating part of her routine was dealing with a hose that stretched dozens of feet across the garden. After watering the plants, she would spend nearly half an hour coiling it up, loop by loop, and dragging it back to the tool shed. In the heat of summer or the chill of winter, a weekend afternoon could easily slip away like that.

Later, she switched to a VEVOR retractable hose reel. With a gentle pull, the hose automatically retracts—finished in just a few seconds.

She said that afternoon she stood in the yard for quite a while, unsure what to do next. “I suddenly had an extra half hour,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do with it. So I just sat there and had a cup of coffee.”

From that day on, she began seeing her yard differently. She used a VEVOR pressure washer to clean the patio, trimmed dead branches with a gas-powered hedge trimmer, and cleared out a small corner of the yard to grow herbs. What once felt like routine maintenance slowly turned into something closer to creation.

This is the philosophy behind VEVOR’s design: giving back, piece by piece, the time that everyday tasks quietly take away.

2 Turning “I Can” Into an Everyday Reality

Another user lives in Philadelphia.

She enjoys browsing home design inspiration but had never actually renovated anything herself. Home improvement always felt like a “big project”—something that required a full weekend, perfect conditions, and careful preparation.

Until the day she used a VEVOR airless paint sprayer to paint her first wall.

At first, it was simply curiosity. She wanted to see how well the machine worked. She repainted one wall in her living room, and the entire process took less than two hours.

When it was finished, she stood there looking at the wall for a long time.

Not because it was perfect. But because an idea she had been putting off for two years had suddenly become real.

After that, things began to fall into place like dominoes. Every weekend she made a little more progress, and each small change sparked another idea.

Later, she shared a reflection in the community that resonated with many others:

“I used to wait for the perfect moment. Now I realize the perfect moment doesn’t arrive on its own—you create it with the right tools.”

Helping ideas come to life faster—that’s exactly what VEVOR hopes to make possible.

3. Powerful Tools, Made to Be Approachable

These two stories point to the same truth: When women pick up tools, what they need most isn’t courage—it’s tools that truly understand them. That’s exactly what VEVOR has been working toward over the past few years.

From backyards in Texas to garages in Seattle, the product team has followed hundreds of real user scenarios, documenting the moments when people hesitate while using tools:

Why can’t hose reels retract automatically?

Why can’t tool handles fit more naturally in smaller hands?

Why can’t equipment be lighter, so moving it around isn’t a barrier?

These observations are gradually being transformed into real design improvements. Each change points toward the same goal: making professional tools accessible to everyone.

Today, VEVOR’s product line covers more than 15,000 categories—from yard care to automotive repair, from home renovation to creative DIY. All of these tools serve the same purpose: to put the power of creation back into the hands of anyone who wants to build something of their own. This isn’t simply an extension of strength. It’s an expansion of choice.

VEVOR believes the power to create shouldn’t be limited by strength, space, or experience. It should belong to anyone with a vision for their home. To bring that belief to life, we’re opening our doors—literally. On March 9, join us at our first-ever global flagship store in Houston (10951 Farm to Market 1960 Road W). See, touch, and test the tools helping women across America redefine what’s possible in their own spaces. Discover pro-level performance without the pro-level price—and start creating the home you’ve always imagined. Your next project starts here.

HONG KONG, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In recent years, social engineering attacks have grown increasingly sophisticated. By posing as colleagues or trusted business partners, attackers lure employees into clicking malicious links or disclosing login credentials, often leading to system abuse and sensitive data leaks. At the same time, internal operational errors combined with external attack vectors have placed corporate security frameworks under mounting pressure.

Email, as the backbone of business communication and information exchange, has consequently become a prime entry point for such attacks. A single misjudgment in an email interaction can set off a chain reaction of risks, ranging from data breaches to costly business fraud.

Against this backdrop, companies need to adopt a more systematic approach to email security and protection to mitigate the combined risks of account abuse and phishing attacks. Coremail, a company with over 27 years of experience in email security, recently shared its insights on emerging trends in enterprise email security, noting that as cyberattack techniques continue to evolve, enterprise email protection is gradually moving away from traditional reactive defenses toward a more intelligent and structured security defense architecture.

Tim Lin, CTO of Coremail, said that the continued advancement of generative AI and social engineering tactics is reshaping the risk landscape for enterprise email security. “To strengthen overall cyber resilience, organizations need a multi-layered defense framework that integrates AI-driven analysis with robust governance and management practices.”

Establishing the First Line of Defense with an LLM-Powered Email Security Gateway

Conventional email security systems that largely rely on rules and signature databases often struggle to keep pace with attacks involving semantic deception, identity spoofing and constantly evolving variants. As phishing campaigns and increasingly sophisticated Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams continue to evolve, companies need more proactive and forward-looking protection capabilities.

Coremail’s CACTER Secure Email Gateway enhances traditional machine learning frameworks by incorporating large language models (LLMs) and multimodal analysis technologies, forming a proactive “AI versus AI” defense architecture.

Leveraging four key AI capabilities including deep semantic understanding, multimodal correlation analysis, zero-shot threat detection and attacker profiling, the CACTER Secure Email Gateway can:

• Accurately detect and block phishing emails, spam, malware and covert BEC attacks to strengthen overall email protection
• Perform dynamic URL inspection to prevent newly emerging malicious link attacks
• Improve detection of unknown and variant threats
• Provide administrators with clear threat visibility and intelligent policy recommendations

By adopting a full lifecycle email security and email data protection framework covering prevention, detection and response, the gateway creates a closed-loop process for email filtering and threat monitoring. Test results show that it can block up to 99.8% of spam emails, while keeping the false positive rate below 0.02%. This allows organizations to strengthen email security without disrupting normal business operations.

Lowering Human Risk Through Regular Anti-Phishing Drills

In many company email security incidents, human error remains the key trigger. Attackers frequently exploit trust relationships by posing as senior executives or business partners to mislead employees. For this reason, organizations should adopt continuous, scenario-based anti-phishing drills that help employees recognise suspicious requests and malicious links, rather than relying solely on one-off training sessions.

CACTER’s anti-phishing simulation service offers a range of customizable scenarios that replicate real-world attack situations, enabling companies to strengthen their risk awareness through practical exercises. Experience shows that regular simulations can significantly reduce the likelihood of employee mistakes and help prevent security incidents at their source.

Strengthening Governance and Security Awareness

Beyond technical safeguards, strong organizational governance is equally important. Companies should strengthen permission management and access control, enforce the principle of least privilege and adopt multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of account misuse.

At the same time, practical security training and clearly defined compliance responsibilities can help embed security awareness into everyday operations, enabling organizations to shift from a reactive approach to risk management toward a more proactive model of prevention.

As internal risks and external cyber threats increasingly converge, enterprise email systems have become a critical point in the security landscape. Relying on a single layer of protection is no longer sufficient to address increasingly complex threats. Organizations need a multi-layered, intelligent and continuously evolving security framework to effectively mitigate compounded risks.

By integrating AI-driven email security gateways, strengthening employee preparedness, and reinforcing governance frameworks, enterprises can enhance overall security resilience and safeguard business stability in an increasingly complex digital environment.
