Constantly pushing the boundaries of hand tool and tool storage development has paid dividends for Carl Kammerling International, who, this November, received the gold award for Hand Tool of the Year for its ground breaking C.K Magma Technician Tool Case, at the DIY Week Awards 2011.

The DIY Week award joins recognition from the readers of Professional Heating & Plumbing Installer magazine, who collectively rated the C.K Magma range as one of the Top Products of 2011.  
 Of the 110 entries to this year’s DIY Week Awards, the C.K Magma Technician Tool Case was a clear winner amongst judges of the Hand Tool category, who commented,
 “If you build it, they will come. Carl Kammerling built it all right – it’s the tool case that the market wants, and the customers came. And they bought it in big numbers.”

“It’s designed for the professional maintenance engineer, but this C.K Magma Technician Tool Case is a big hit with DIYers as well – our judges reported that it’s selling very well. Masses of storage space, compartments for everything you could think of, and a look that clearly says: ‘I’m a professional. Trust me – I know what I’m doing’.”
