Jackson Professional Tools Celebrates 150 Years of the Iconic Blue Wheelbarrow

Flagship wheelbarrow brand launches anniversary sweepstakes, honoring generations of trade professionals.

Jackson Professional Tools, a brand of The AMES Companies Inc. and subsidiary of Griffon Corporation, is marking its 150th anniversary with a national sweepstakes promotion. The longtime manufacturer of professional-grade wheelbarrows is offering participants a chance to win a Honda FourTrax Rubicon as part of the campaign.

The promotion was introduced at World of Concrete 2026 and remains open through May 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Company officials positioned the sweepstakes as both a milestone celebration and a recognition of the contractors and tradespeople who rely on Jackson tools in daily field operations.

Founded in 1876 in Harrisburg, Pa., Jackson Professional Tools traces its origins to the country’s late-19th-century industrial expansion. Over the decades, the brand has built its reputation supplying wheelbarrows and hand tools to construction, concrete and landscape professionals.

For wall and ceiling contractors, durable material-handling equipment remains a productivity driver on fast-paced commercial and residential jobsites. Wheelbarrows are routinely used to move gypsum board scrap, joint compound buckets, plaster materials and debris—tasks that directly affect crew efficiency, housekeeping compliance and injury risk.

The company’s signature blue steel wheelbarrow continues to be a visible presence on jobsites nationwide. While the anniversary campaign centers on brand heritage, the underlying message reinforces long-term durability and jobsite reliability—attributes that contractors often weigh alongside cost, availability and service life when selecting material-handling equipment.

Sweepstakes entry details and eligibility information are available through the Jackson Professional Tools website.
