At the prize presentation at Sutton Tools in Melbourne, a happy Thomas purchased a Sutton Tools 100 Year Drill Set from Bunnings Wallsend.

“Working in pest control, I use drills for termite inspection as well as personal DIY projects”, Thomas said.

“It was my first Sutton Tools drill set, which I purchased because I was tired of using cheap drills that always broke. My reason for buying Sutton drills was they were Australian Made and the fact the company had been around for 100 years”.

“I had just completed a termite inspection when the call came that I had won the prize. I was really taken aback, wondering if it was a prank!”, Thomas said.

Presentation of the gold bullion grand prize caps off a year of centenary celebrations for this Australian manufacturing icon that ran monthly draws throughout the year for people who purchased special anniversary drill sets.

Monthly prize winners of Sutton Tools products valued at $1,000 were from Victoria, Western Australia New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland.
