Yannick Addy, Director of the Tools and Equipment Department at UAP/NAPA, was accompanied by Daniel Dionne at the Carlyle tools booth under the Traction banner—UAP/NAPA’s heavy-duty division—to introduce the new private-label tool line.
Featuring a unique visual identity, these quality tools come with a lifetime warranty and are priced affordably for both light-vehicle shops and heavy-duty maintenance and repair specialists. The catalogue includes approximately 5,000 tools.
"We wanted to modernize and unify this offering," explained Addy. "The branding and the saber-toothed lion head (smilodon) will appeal to a younger clientele ."
According to the expert, Carlyle tools are a perfect fit for technicians entering the trade. The Carlyle starter tool set showcased at Truck World would be well-suited for an acquisition incentive program designed to attract and retain new service technicians.
