Pro Tool Innovation Awards

Identifying the Most Innovative Trade Tools and Products

The program began as a way to identify the year’s best new products for the readers of a major industry tool publication. It has since grown well past what anyone there planned for, but it is still run by people who spend their days testing tools rather than administering award programs. Products are judged on what they do on the jobsite. Judges examine features, durability, ergonomics, and price, and consider those metrics against the alternatives. Winning products either have more capabilities, less weight, faster cycle times, longer runtime, a better feel in the hand, or they may simply deliver a better value for your hard-earned dollar.

Entering is open to all manufacturers and their marketing agencies. Everyone is welcome to connect with us and get on the invitation list, but there are no exclusive membership requirements, and no advantage to being the biggest name in a category. Products are evaluated on their merits by people in the trades who use tools in a professional capacity.
