For the second year in a row, readers can voice their opinion on the top products nominated for the PTEN Innovation Awards program, with the 2015 Innovation Awards People's Choice.
While the Innovation Awards program winners are determined by input from an expert panel of judges to determine the Innovation Awards winners, the People's Choice Awards program allows readers to provide insights on which products should take top honors.
Three surveys have designed allowing readers to give feedback on the 117 products, in 26 product categories, submitted for this year's PTEN Innovation Awards program.
These surveys have been designed to provide a quick overview of the products. It will take participants about five minutes to complete each survey. Participants can get extra product information on any of the products by clicking the underlined product name of any product in the survey.
This year, the voting has been broken up into three different surveys. (Click on the survey name below to access each survey.)
2015 PTEN People's Choice Survey #1: DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS and TIRE/WHEEL SERVICE
2015 PTEN People's Choice Survey #2: HAND TOOLS and SPECIALTY TOOLS
2015 PTEN People's Choice Survey #3: SHOP EQUIPMENT and AIR TOOLS/POWER TOOLS
After every survey, participants are eligible to win a $100 Visa gift card. For drawing consideration, the participant must provide his or her contact information. Participants can increase their chances of winning by completing all three surveys.
Guidelines for voting
We know that you haven't had a chance to purchase every single product on this list. We ask that you use your best judgment based on your experience in the shop with past repairs, and the tools and equipment you've used to complete those repairs.
When you're reviewing the products, consider:
-I've never seen a product like this before. This is a new or ingenious idea that would save me time.
-I've seen products like this, but the features/functionality of this product would really save me more time with repairs.
-I've seen products like this, but a feature of this product really improves on existing products out there.
-I've used this product, and it has saved me time/helped me complete a repair I couldn't have done previously.
If that isn't enough, one random voter will be selected to win a $100 Visa gift card. If you'd like to be considered for this drawing, be sure to enter your contact info at the end of the survey.
Voting is open until from June 1 through July 31. Winners of the People's Choice program will be announced in the October issue of PTEN magazine.
