Malco Impact Rated Hole Cutter Bits Earn Dealer Design Award

Malco Tools has made waves in the HVAC industry by winning the prestigious Bronze award in the Hand Tools category at the 2024 Dealer Design Awards.

Malco Tools, one of the nation’s leading solution developers and manufacturers of a variety of high-quality tools for the HVAC trade, was recognized for excellence in product design in the 2024 Dealer Design Awards Program, sponsored by The Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News magazine.

Malco’s sheet metal Hole Cutters with Impact Rated Cutter Bits (HC1/HC2) won the Bronze award in the Hand Tools category, selected by an independent panel of contractors.

Malco’s distinctive Gold Impact Cutter Bits quickly install into the chuck of any corded or cordless drill in just a few seconds, and unlike anything else on the market, feature a hex insert for ultimate flexibility for use on either an impact driver or a drill. When used with an impact driver, trade professionals can expect faster-than-average cutting times, which means they can get the job done faster and more efficiently than ever before.

“We are proud to bring home another Dealer Design Award that speaks to the innovative products Malco brings to HVAC pros,” said Rebecca Talbot, vice president of marketing at Malco Tools. “We specifically designed these ‘Gold Standard’ Hole Cutter Bits to be the longest-lasting, fastest-cutting, and easiest-adjusting solution for cutting holes in sheet metal to make jobs easier and more efficient for pros.”

The ACHR News is the leading trade magazine in the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration industries. Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards were featured in the July 29, 2024, issue of The ACHR News, which is distributed nationally to over 27,000 HVACR contractors, wholesalers and distributors, and other industry professionals.

“These awards give us a unique opportunity to recognize the outstanding research and development efforts that go into many of the products serving the HVACR industry and the awards issue gives our readers an opportunity to read about innovative installation and service solutions,” said Sarah Harding, publisher of The ACHR News.
