Bosch ‘Tool Belt Tetris’ Contest to Award 340 Winners BLAZE Laser Measuring Kits

Mt. Prospect, Ill. (Dec. 10, 2019) – Bosch Power Tools is rounding out 2019 with one final contest this week by inviting participants to showcase the essential contents of their tool belts for a chance to win a laser measure prize pack.

Contestants throughout the U.S. and Canada have one week – from Dec. 11 to Dec. 18 – to enter Tool Belt Tetris, a contest inspired by the viral “Tetris Challenge” led by Swiss first responders in Zurich. Bosch will select 340 winners to receive the ultimate BLAZE^TM kit, which includes a BLAZE^TM GLM 50 C 165 Ft. Connected Laser Measure, a “Do You BLAZE?” Grizzly Mug and a set of carpenter pencils. For U.S. residents, the contest will be hosted on the @BoschToolsNA Instagram account. Canadian residents can participate via the @BoschToolsCanada account.

"A tradesperson’s tool belt is filled with critical essentials for getting the job done each and every day," said Isabelle Bizub, measuring tools marketing manager for Bosch Power Tools. "Hand tools and tape measures are common assets, but many users still don’t keep laser measures on hand. We hope our Tool Belt Tetris contest drives conversation about jobsite must-haves and inspires men and women in the trades to include laser measures among their go-to tools.”

As a tool solution that simplifies measuring on any job, Bosch’s BLAZE^TM GLM 50 C 165 Ft. Connected Laser Measure is the centerpiece of the prize pack. It alleviates the hassle of measuring long distances and high heights; even in areas with physical obstacles that stand in the way. Paired with the traditional tape measure, GLM 50 C users can measure virtually anything.

The contest is open to U.S. and Canada residents who are 18 years old or older. It kicks off at midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 11, and ends at 11:59 p.m. CST on Wednesday, Dec. 18.

Contestants can enter by:

1. Posting a photo or video to Instagram that displays the contents of their tool belts or bags in an organized or arranged “Tetris-like” format.
2. U.S. residents must tag @BoschToolsNA and include the hashtag, #ToolBeltTetrisContest.
3. Canada residents must tag @BoschToolsCanada and include the hashtag, #ToolBeltTetrisContestCA.
