You can cast your vote here for Dave’s Gilded Crown: King of Beads, or Jody’s Tropic Thrasher. Voting closes on February 5.
“Our partnership with Dave and Jody always brings out the best for our customers who are looking for that unique look,” said Jeff Land, SVP of Merchandising at Northern Tool + Equipment. “It is amazing how they can take one of our best welding helmets and turn it into a piece of artwork that has the look our customers love. Picking just one of this year’s designs is going to be tough for our customers.”
After coming up just short last year, Jody is dead-set on flipping the script. “He’s not winning again,” said Jody Perewitz. “Not a chance.”
Five lucky participants who vote will receive a free, limited-edition Klutch welding helmet. The winning design will be announced on February 9 and will be available for purchase at Northern Tool + Equipment in-store and online later this year.
