Distributors explored the inside of one of the Cornwell tool trucks on display at the rally.
For the editors of Professional Distributor, the last week of February was a whirlwind of new products, product demos, and interactions with mobile tool distributors. In Orlando, we first attended the Matco Tools Expo and then the Mac Tools Fair. We had to do a bit of dividing and conquering to also attend the Cornwell Quality Tools Rally in Denver. All of the shows boasted a variety of new products and a space for camaraderie between the distributors. The photos in this spread will give you a snapshot of each show.
