Seattle Man Has Unique Claim To Fame

PHOENIX - A Seattle man has been proclaimed the best screw driver in North America.

Mike Rennie won the Dewalt challenge, sponsored by Chevy Trucks, held over the weekend at Phoenix. The 34-year-old drywall contractor competed in a tournament against 13 other "drivers" from the United States and Canada.

The contest was to see who could drive five screws into a piece of wood the fastest with a Dewalt cordless drill. Contestants had to start a timer, pick up the drill, drive the screws and stop the timer.

Rennie sank five screws in 7.6 seconds. He won $25,000 and a new Silverado pick-up truck.
