In a flurry of deburring, swaging, bending and flaring, one HVAC/R technician rose to the top of the leaderboard during this year’s Fastest Hands in HVAC/R contest held during the AHR Convention in Orlando, Florida.
Evan Gutman, 22, Doylestown, PA, a technician with Doylestown Air, was sitting in first place out of 350 competitors after the initial round of competition, which involved deburring and swaging both ends of a copper tube. Gutman completed this task in just 17.7 seconds. He, along with 15 other competitors, went on to complete other common tasks called for on the job until the field was narrowed to four.
