You can’t miss it in your job — the onward march of tools and technology. We
published a list of tools and equipment last issue for you to take note of; all the nominees
for the 2008 Professional Tool & Equipment News Innovation Awards. Now, this issue, we
have the 33 winners.
These tools are noteworthy.
Not because they won some award in a tool magazine, but because
of why they won an award in a tool magazine.
These tools were voted on by a panel of active
technicians, who rated each tool on its ability to save time and energy under the hood, and
therefore help techs work more efficiently and make more money.
Again, that was a panel of
technicians. Free from any influence by the magazine’s staff.
So when you look at the Innovation Award winners in this issue, be assured that they are
among the most innovative tools and equipment made available.
As such, you need to be ready
for your customers to start asking you questions about these tools, as they will have already
read about them in PTEN and online.
We’ve added the list of winners here, and you can
read more about each product online at www.professionaldistributormagazine.com, so you won’t
be taken by surprise by your customers.
It’s fitting that the Innovation Award winners
are unveiled now, as you’ve likely
just been to your company’s tool fair/rally. You probably saw many of these tools there.
Hopefully, you even ordered some at show prices.
You can’t stop the march of technology
and innovation — but we’re doing
our best to keep you abreast of what’s coming.
