"I guess you could consider us a sponsor, but the fact is that we have long term relationships with so many teams and professional mechanics that it just seems natural for us to work together year after year." Said Park Tool President, Eric Hawkins.

Bart Knaggs of Team Radio Shack said, "We wouldn’t have it any other way. We only deal with the best." Park Tool has worked with head mechanic Julien DeVriese and the management of Team Radio Shack all the way back to days of the US Postal Service Team.

"Park Tool truly understands both the specific needs of international race mechanics and the high standards required for the support of professional athletes." Said Gavin Chilcott, General Manager of the BMC Racing Team. "As a professional team, we need a partner like Park Tool that is involved with the latest technologies and committed to building excellent tools to address these applications."

We also have official relationships with a good number of domestic pro teams.” Said Park Tool Marketing Guy, Bill Armas. "We work with Jelly Belly, Trek Livestrong, Team Type 1, Kelly Benefits and USA Cycling just to name a few. And of course there are many team mechanics that use our products outside of any formal relationship."

"We derive a lot of benefit from our relationships in the racing community," Armas added. "The team mechanics work with products on the cutting edge of cycling innovation and technology. They provide valuable feedback and insight on that part of the market."
