2017 "Electrician of the Year"
How it Works
Over the last 160 years, we've heard amazing stories about electricians dedicating their time to their communities, jobsite safety and professional achievement. In recognition of their hard work and commitment to the quality, safety and integrity of their work on and off the jobsite, we conduct a search each year to showcase the finest U.S. electricians. The 2017 Klein Tools Electrician of the Year award will celebrate those who power America's passions.
