The winner, John “Junior” Blackmar of Kissimmee, Florida, showed off his toolbox full of Ken-Tool products, and ended with a demonstration of a roadside service call. Rock Tyson, Ken-Tool Vice President of Sales and Marketing, presented Blackmar with a $500 check for his winning submission.
The monthly contest, which kicked off June 1, encourages Ken-Tool end users to flaunt their tire-changing and mechanical skills by recording themselves in a short product demonstration video. The video can then be easily uploaded to a dedicated Web site and every month, one winner is selected to win $500 based on their skill, originality and performance.
“We decided to start the Quest for the Best contest because we offer hundreds of unique tire-changing and automotive tools, and most of the products have a multitude of applications,” explained Tyson. “We wanted a way to showcase this versatility, but we wanted it to come from real people – from Ken-Tool end users. I was really impressed by the variety of tools Junior uses while on the job and also by his mechanical skills.”
