Official Press Release
Austin, TX – September 16, 2024
Wall-Russ received a prestigious 2024 Pro Tool Innovation Award for their “no putty” Wall-Patch Kit. A distinguished panel of judges, including contractors, construction business owners, tradespeople, and media professionals, has completed the vote tally for the world's most innovative products in the construction and outdoor power equipment industry. Now in its 12th year, the Pro Tool Innovation Awards have highlighted a remarkable range of groundbreaking power tools, hand tools, tool accessories, and fasteners. Leading industry manufacturers submitted products, showcasing an extraordinary array of innovation. The PTIA judges had the following to say about the Wall-Patch Kit:
“The Wall-Russ™ Wall-Patch Kit simplifies the traditionally complex and time-consuming process of patching wall anchor holes—letting users fill these holes in less than a minute. The kit includes a patent-pending tool that removes a precise layer of texture around the hole and an adhesive-backed patch that fits seamlessly into the cavity. The final step involves blending the edges with a safety cap. This streamlined process eliminates the need for putty, sanding, and texturing, offering an efficient, cost-effective solution for both professionals and DIYers.”
"Innovation comes in many forms. Pro Tool Innovation Award winners push boundaries, often introducing features no one has ever seen, creating new battery-powered solutions, redefining the capabilities of compact tools, or designing products at a lower price without compromising performance," stated Noelle Howe, Content Manager for the Awards. "The work of teams and individuals who dare to think outside the box is evident throughout the Pro Tool Innovation Awards," she added.
The PTIA judges underwent a rigorous evaluation process spanning several dozen man-hours, sifting through hundreds of cutting-edge power tools, hand tools, fasteners, products, and accessories. The selection of winners was based on various critical factors. The awarded products stood out for their innovative features, superior power delivery, revolutionary ergonomics, technological advancements, jobsite safety improvements, or exceptional value. The 2024 Pro Tool Innovation Award winners exemplify the companies and products that drive the construction, landscaping, automotive, and manufacturing industries forward, meriting recognition for their role in advancing their respective fields.
This year, over 100 different manufacturers and brands submitted nearly 400 products in dozens of categories, all vying for a 2024 Pro Tool Innovation Award.
Reflecting on the 12th annual Pro Tool Innovation Awards, Executive Director Clint DeBoer expressed admiration for the industry's ongoing innovation. "This marks our 12th year of hosting the PTIA Awards, and each year we witness an increasing level of innovation from both large and small companies." DeBoer added, "Every Pro Tool Innovation Award celebrates a product developed by passionate people who, like us, believe the standard we're used to is no longer good enough."
In 2024, top innovators continued making significant advances in battery-powered technology, continuing the shift away from traditional corded and gas tools and equipment. Many of these cutting-edge products, praised for their heightened efficiency, improved safety, and enhanced jobsite productivity, have challenged traditional boundaries between battery and gas. Manufacturers of tool accessories and fasteners have also embraced these new developments.
The annual PTIA Awards have become a sought-after platform for professionals and consumers alike, eager to discover groundbreaking products. The program has been crucial in spotlighting the rapid advancements in the battery-powered technology sector.
