Chicago Pneumatic’s RX breaker line is showcased on the series premiere episode of an upcoming television show on the National Geographic Channel called "Showdown of the Unbeatables."

Chicago Pneumatic’s RX breaker line is showcased on the series premiere episode of an upcoming television show on the National Geographic Channel called Showdown of the Unbeatables. The episode will air Friday April 4th a 9 p.m. eastern time.

Showdown of the Unbeatables pits engineering innovations against one another, and in the series premiere, the Chicago Pneumatic RX breaker will attempt to break into an “impenetrable safe” manufactured by Brown Safe, a California-based company. During a typical episode of the show, show hosts and TV personalities Brian Unger and Zane Lamprey align themselves with opposing companies that are preparing to face off. In each showdown, one product is deemed the winner based on pre-determined criteria.

“The show has been an excellent opportunity for us to showcase the sheer power of our RX breaker line,” said Erin Crowe, marketing communications coordinator for Chicago Pneumatic North America. “Win or lose, we were thrilled to participate and introduce our products to the general public.”

Starring on the show for Chicago Pneumatic is construction industry veteran and rig-mounted breaker expert Greg Petherbridge. On the show, Petherbridge will offer insight on typical applications of the breaker, background of the product itself, and will speak about the features and benefits of the RX breaker line.

The products in the showdowns compete for bragging rights only and are non-competitive products, utilized in different markets.
