FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The BECK Group Wins a 2020 Pro Tool Innovation Award

Muscle Shoals, AL – 9/28/2020

Last week the BECK Group received a Pro Tool Innovation Award for the Splitless.Decking.SCRAIL®. We also became a finalist for the F70G Duplex Nailer. Judging for the 8^th annual PTIA Awards wrapped up as a diverse panel of judges made up of contractors, construction business owners, tradesmen, and media professionals came together to vote on the most innovative construction and outdoor power equipment industry products in the world. This year saw a particularly diverse and competitive set of entries submitted by top manufacturers from around the world. Here's what the Pro Tool Innovation Awards judges said about the Splitless.Decking.SCRAIL®:

Beck’s Decking Scrail got our judges’ attention as a whole solution rather than one particular innovation. It all starts with eliminating the frustrations of split deck boards thanks to its blunt tip. Designed to be fired from a Scrail nailer rather than a traditional screw gun, the diamond coating helps maintain the hold in conjunction with each fastener’s threads. With two options for corrosion resistance, you end up with a deck fastening system that’s much faster than screw guns and impact drivers.

After pouring over literally hundreds of power tools, hand tools, fasteners, and accessories, winners were judged and chosen based on their leading innovation in the industry. Winners tended to demonstrate notability in any combination of the following: innovative features, advanced power delivery, groundbreaking ergonomics, technological advancements, and value. The 2020 Pro Tool Innovation Awards recognize best-in-class products that are truly ahead of their time.

This year, 78 different manufacturers and brands submitted over 320 products in dozens of categories for a chance to take home a 2020 Pro Tool Innovation Award.

"In our 8^th year running the PTIA Awards, we continue to be amazed at the level of innovation and design manufacturers demonstrate with their newest products. Brands really innovated and improved their products this year to achieve improvements in job site efficiency, safety, and productivity. We're also seeing new features, more run-time in cordless, and greater advancements in materials. While average products see incremental advancements, Pro Tool Innovation Award winners truly distinguish themselves in the industry and deserve particular recognition. Business owners, builders, contractors, and tradespeople can look to the PTIA Awards to find new products that help them work more quickly, safely, and with greater efficiency," said Clint DeBoer, Executive Director of the Pro Tool Innovation Awards. "Many of these new products also save you money—either through a reduction in material costs or via efficiency on the jobsite. It's that kind of innovation that we want to highlight each year."
