KC Tool Bit Guessing Contest Wera Bits

The KC Tool Bit Guessing Contest

KC Tool Bit Guessing Contest Wera BitsWe are happy to announce the beginning of The KC Tool Bit Guessing Contest.  Those of you who have ordered from KC Tool in the past few months have probably seen the included “Bit of Thanks” which is a Wera #2 Phillips bit engraved with our namesake.  In order to have our name printed on these we had to order 25,000 directly from Germany.  With that many bits laying around we decided it was time to have a good old fashioned “guess the number of bits in the container contest.”  The first person to guess the correct number of bits wins a Wera Tools prize package valued at over $450!  Please only one entry per person per day.
