2007 Editors' Choice Awards
Honoring innovation and leadership in the development of new tools and technology.
Tools of the Trade Magazine, May/June 2007


Every year at this time, Tools of the Trade's editorial team takes a look back at the hundreds of tools, accessories, equipment, and technological breakthroughs we've seen introduced at trade shows, in private meetings, and on factory tours and select those few that we feel stand out. And each year, these products become our Editors' Choice Award winners.

As interesting as this is for us, it gets harder every year to choose from so many ingenious and incredible inventions–because every year tool manufacturers accelerate their blistering pace of new introductions and drive innovations deeper into new technologies. So, to pick from this expanding universe of new products is a daunting and difficult task. It also is a lot of fun because we search high and low all year long for award winners that we feel deserve special recognition–and we never know where they'll turn up.

And so, once again, we are proud to introduce another batch of Editors' Choice Award winners, which include tools and accessories that will improve user safety, security, workmanship, and jobsite efficiency, along with ultra-modern takes on the old hammer and nail. As always, we honor the people behind these products, whose creativity, hard work, and brainpower brought them from concept to reality, and the companies they work for that dedicate their teams to solving our everyday construction challenges through imagination and innovation.


DEWALT EQUIPMENT TRACKER

Whether you're worried about jobsite theft or have a crew that just can't seem to keep track of your compressor, the MobileLock GPS Locator and Anti-Theft Alarm can help. This standalone, wireless locating device uses GPS to track the location of lost or stolen equipment and tools. An alarm can be set to activate when the protected piece of equipment is disturbed; the owner can then use the MobileLock Web site to view maps and satellite imagery to pinpoint the equipment's approximate location and pass that information on to police if necessary. DEWALT MobileLock: kits, $499–$599; monitoring, $20/month. 800-433-9258. www.dewalt.com.
