Guests at the Interbuild exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham were treated to a heart-pounding finale to the IRWIN Ultimate Tradesman Challenge. Almost 4000 contestants have taken part in the competition over the past nine months, all demonstrating their skills and vying for a chance to win an amazing IRWIN Porsche 911 sports car at events throughout the UK. Kitchen fitter and joiner Rob Guyll was the eventual winner, driving away in the prize Porsche after a nail-biting competition watched by hundreds of tools enthusiasts. Over the course of Interbuild, Rob, from Yarm in North Yorkshire, went head to head with seven of the finest tradesmen that the industry has to offer. Each of them had previously emerged victorious from one of more than 60 heats that took place across the length and breadth of the UK. Every contestant had to complete, against the clock, a specially prepared challenge that involves cutting a length of wood using the IRWIN Jack 880 Triple Ground Saw, quickly and accurately marking the wood with the IRWIN Marking Square, clamping it using the new Quick-Grip XP one handed bar clamp and drilling a series of holes with the Blue Groove 6x and Cordless drill bits. The last 32 competitors battled out the group stages on Tuesday 20th October with the eight group winning contestants qualifying for the knockout stages. The 8 quarter finalists consistently racked up some impressive sub-30 second times, until only two were left Rob Guyll and Dave Brown. The two lightning-fast tool-wielding titans took to the stage to the applause and shouted encouragement of the crowd, which spilled over into the walkways around the IRWIN stand. First blood in the best-of-five competition went to Rob, after Dave, perhaps feeling the pressure, dropped his power drill. The second round saw Dave claw it back, completing in 28.25 to his opponents 28.44, a margin of less than 0.2 of a second! But Rob won the next two rounds with 26.76 and 28.99 seconds, claiming the keys to his prize from Neil Elbeler, the global president of IRWIN.
