AKRON, Ohio – Ken-Tool, a leader in tire servicing hand tools and equipment, has announced that Dublin, Ireland-based Wheelcare Ltd. has become a Ken-Tool distributor for its wheel and tire service bay customers. 
Wheelcare Ltd. has nearly 30 years of service to the Irish tire service industry, and extends its reach into the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece and other countries.
Killian McNabb, managing director of Wheelcare, said, “We have always viewed Ken-Tool and its product line with the highest regard. When the opportunity came to become a distributor, we took it, straight away. The biggest factor that influenced us choosing to distribute Ken-Tool products was innovation. Ken-Tool has always led the way in solving the problems facing tire technicians and fitters around the world. This innovation, coupled with extremely high-quality manufacturing makes the Ken-Tool range top class.
“We at Wheelcare see the Ken-Tool range as a perfect fit for the Irish and European markets," McNabb added. "With very few tire retailers wanting to spend large sums of money on tire changing machines, the Ken-Tool range provides an inexpensive, safe and fast way to change commercial and agricultural tires in all environments.”
Rock Tyson, Ken-Tool’s vice president of sales and marketing, noted, “We are extremely pleased to have a distributor of the caliber of Wheelcare Ltd. joining us as a distribution partner. We feel there is a very good fit between the two companies, and Wheelcare’s strong presence in the European tire service market should help many tire service centers improve their in-shop safety and productivity.”
