As we begin to embark on all that 2010 holds for us, we wanted to quickly look back to the close of a very successful 2009 for GearWrench and keep you updated on what's ahead. This past November, we had a very successful trip to the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas and we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of the GearWrench brand. We had the unique opportunity to speak with many of you in our booth and at our first "Social Media Social" happy hour, which was a huge success.

We know that the conversations started at the show have continued online on our Facebook fan page. We view your input as invaluable and critical to our success. We encourage you to continue to post messages about your favorite tools and how our latest innovations help you solve on-the-job challenges.

Our new Facebook fan page was just one of the many things announced at the SEMA show this year. We also introduced two new product extensions -- the Indexing Ratcheting Wrench and the Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle. Both wrenches will be available in February 2010 and are part of our push to provide professional tool users with a complete line of hand tools for any application.

Several of you attending SEMA also took home our new Open-End Ratcheting Wrench that was given away in the booth. While this tool won't be widely available until June of 2010, we'd love to hear your feedback on this new innovation and any of our other hand tools in your shop.

We hope that you'll use Facebook to stay connected with us throughout the coming months. We'll be hosting contests and promotions throughout 2010 so be sure to become a fan, if you're not one already.

We trust that you and your family had a happy and healthy holiday and are looking forward to an exciting 2010. Stay tuned for several new product launches and promotions coming your way soon.
