PTEN announces 2024 Innovation Award winners

Sept. 2, 2024
This year PTEN received over 100 submissions for products across 25 categories.

The 2024 PTEN Innovation Awards are finally here, and this year marks 25 years since the awards began. After much deliberation, our panel of judges—consisting of technicians and shop owners—have selected the winners. 

Established in 1999, the Innovation Awards recognize the most innovative automotive tools and equipment and honor those companies that help technicians excel at their jobs. This year over 100 products were submitted for consideration across 25 categories. To qualify, the product had to have been introduced or updated within the last year. Judges then rated the product on its ability to make diagnoses and repairs easier and more efficient, as well as increase shop productivity.

PTEN will hold an award ceremony on the show floor at the AAPEX Show in Las Vegas this November, details to come.
