The LENOX Cut Above Nationwide Tour and IRWIN Tools National Tradesmen Day Road Show are back and will log more than 35,000 miles and host 205 hands-on events at Lowe’s retail locations from August 14 through October 27.

All LENOX Cut Above Nationwide Tour and IRWIN Tools National Tradesmen Day Road Show events during the 11 weeks showcase the tools tradesmen rely on to keep the world running. Coast-to-coast events kick off in Upstate New York, Boston, and North Carolina and continue with stops throughout the Heartland, as well as California, Washington and Oregon.

The IRWIN Tools National Tradesmen Day Road Show promotes and celebrates September 15, 2017 as National Tradesmen Day, an event IRWIN established seven years ago to recognize and thank trade professionals in the U.S.—plumbers, electricians, roofers, bricklayers, woodworkers, carpenters and trade professionals. Product demonstrations include the industry-leading IRWIN VISE-GRIP Pliers (the centerpiece of the National Tradesmen Day logo) and the new IRWIN Tools Screwdrivers lineup. The events also feature recent innovations in IRWIN hand tools and power tool accessories as well as product giveaways.
