Date: September 19, 2024

Ingersoll Rand®, a global leader in reliable and innovative power tools, is partnering with Northern Tool + Equipment to support and inspire the next generation of trade school professionals by donating tools and equipment to the Tools for the Trades™ Monster Jam Mini Build - a never-been-done, hands-on experience to encourage high school students to pursue careers in the skilled trades.

“As a team we are really excited to be able to support Northern Tool and their partnership event again this year with our Tool & Compressor donations,” said Mackenzie Liss, Channel Marketing Manager at Ingersoll Rand. “This event gives students a unique opportunity to build a mini monster truck using the industry’s best tools and show off the skills they’ve learned.”

Students in Bryan High School’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) program will complete the Monster Jam Mini Build using essential tools donated by Ingersoll Rand, including a 2200L5 Two-Stage Electric Drive Reciprocating Air Compressor, 231G ½” Air Impact Wrenches, 170G 3/8” Air Ratchet Wrenches, 3101G Angle Air Die Grinders, as well as assorted sockets and grinder stones.

Throughout the school year, they will receive mentorship from Monster Jam Vice President of Fleet Operations and Development Bill Easterly, Monster Jam World Finals® Champion Crew Chief Shelby Fisher and several special Monster Jam guests. The final truck will be revealed in Austin, TX during Monster Jam’s event at the Moody Center on June 7, 2025.

“Having the right tools and related equipment is paramount for one of the toughest and most demanding motorsports in the world,” said Dave Muye, Vice President of Global Partnerships for Feld Entertainment, owners and producers of Monster Jam.

Ingersoll Rand is proud to be part of this effort and introduce students to the legendary quality and durability that our tools and equipment are known for in the trades. You can follow their progress on YouTube.
