A pair of products from GEARWRENCH were recognized at the PTEN Innovation Awards (PTIA) during the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) Tuesday at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas. PTEN magazine recognizes the most innovative automotive aftermarket tools and equipment every year, as voted on by a panel of judges comprised of technicians and shop owners.

The GEARWRENCH Mobile Work Station, No. 83169, received the PTEN Innovation Award in the Toolboxes and Carts category. The Mobile Work Station offers practical functionality and durability with customizable features that allow users to make this station work for them. The Mobile Work Station features industrial grade 6" by 2" wide polyurethane locking casters that support a max capacity of 2,000 lbs.

With 11 different-sized drawers, including a full-size top drawer with adjustable partitions, and a lockable side cabinet with adjustable shelf, this storage space is flexible enough to fit any tool. The drawers offer 100-lb capacity ball-bearing locking drawer slides. A spray can shelf and pegboard panel provide customizable storage of tools, power cords, hoses, and more.

The GEARWRENCH Bluetooth Radio/Speaker, No. 86997, received a PTEN People’s Choice Award in the Safety Equipment & Personal Gear category. The speaker offers rich sound and versatile features, like a built-in microphone for receiving calls when paired with a smartphone. A single device can pair up to two speakers at once for sound that fills the room. The compact design and rubber casing make it tough enough for any shop and worksite conditions.
