IRWIN will again be bringing the biggest and most thrilling trade competition to the Southern Toolfair; local tradesmen will have the chance to win a spectacular Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the IRWIN Tools' Ultimate Tradesman Challenge 2010. IRWIN will also be showing their new products along with the traditional items such as the Jack 880 Handsaw, Maples Chisels and Quick Clamps. New Products will include the ground breaking IRWIN Jack EVO Handsaw and revolutionary Blue Groove Power Wood drill bits

Entrants in the Ultimate Tradesman's Challenge must race against the clock to complete a specially-prepared challenge that involves cutting, clamping, marking, measuring and drilling.  The fastest competitor from the two days will qualify for the glittering UTC Grand Final at Interbuild at the NEC in October - and the chance to drive home the stunning Aston Martin.

Ian Birdsall, Trade Marketing Manager at IRWIN, said:

"This is the biggest UTC event we are holding in the Southampton area and we are keen to see what the county's tradesmen are capable of.  The first Ultimate Tradesman Challenge was a great success and really captured the imagination of the industry. 

Not only will we be giving away more prizes than before, but we'll be using some of our brand new and most innovative tools, so those people that really honed their skills in last year's challenge won't necessarily have an advantage when battling for the amazing Aston Martin V8 Vantage."

The IRWIN Tools' Ultimate Tradesman Challenge 2010 builds on the phenomenal success of last year's contest, which saw more than 4000 contestants at more than 70 events take part, demonstrating their skills and vying for a chance to win a gorgeous Porsche sports car.
