The MR45 Recovery Machine from Fieldpiece Instruments Inc. is a variable-speed, DC-motor recovery machine with a digital display. The machine starts and runs in lower voltage situations, and lightweight power cord usage won’t burn out the motor. These attributes, alongside glowing reviews from contractors and our panel of judges, helped the MR45 win the gold award in the Electronic and Hand Tools category of The NEWS’ 2017 Dealer Design Awards.
“Research didn’t start out specifically for a recovery machine,” said Tina French, marketing manager, Fieldpiece Instruments. “In the fall of 2014, we did general research to understand technicians and contractors. We then identified some pain points and had users rank the product performance of different tools. We saw a demand from contractors for a quality recovery machine and wanted to get into the market.”
