About BKM Brand

"IN THESE HANDS I TRUST" -  "IN WRENCHES WE TRUST" - "WRENCH ON LEGEND" - "LEGEND STATUS" - "STREET CERTIFIED" “YOU BREAK IT-I FIX IT-YOU PAY ME”

At BKM Brand, we are dedicated to providing high-quality merchandise that embodies the spirit and professionalism of mechanics and the blue collar. Founded in 2023 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, our mission is to empower, advocate for, and support individuals in the automotive and blue-collar industries through products that reflect their passion and dedication.

For over 40 years, I have been passionate and in love with the profession of turning wrenches as a diesel mechanic. I'm super proud of my development and the skills I've gained. I have come to realize that to be a top-level really good mechanic you have to love every part of the job. The pain, the frustration, the expenses incurred in tools, books, training, etc. 

Hence, the Busted Knuckle Mechanic (BKM) is that passionate, dedicated professional mechanic.

One more thing I realized is that to be good, I mean special, to be the one others go to for the tough jobs, and the knowledge. You have to believe that you are a legendary status mechanic, a street-certified mechanic! Not in an obnoxious way or cocky or arrogant way, but in a confident, respectful, self-believing way. Share your talent, share your knowledge, lead by example.  "WRENCH ON LEGEND" "ASPIRE 2 INSPIRE"

  Why I started BKM BRAND.

I am so proud of being in the blue-collar industry as a mechanic, and I hate that we still don't get the respect our profession deserves. We get a lack of respect for the efforts, sacrifices, expenses, and constant training required to keep up with the latest technologies and advancements. Sometimes we even disrespect ourselves by buying and wearing T-shirts and hats that make our professions look silly, stupid, and dumb. Like shirts that feature ridiculous designs ( marry a mechanic cause he busts nuts) STUPID! or ( if it has tits and wheels, a mechanic can make it squeal) STUPID!

So I decided to design a brand that has nothing but love and respect for the mechanic, blue-collar professions. A brand that will promote and advocate for the professions. A brand that is positive with clear messaging that you are a professional, a legend in the game. Clean designs, no cartoonish shit. Just good-looking designs on quality products with genuine leather or dimensional PVC or stainless steel that fit and look great.

We also want to let people know that we are professional mechanics or blue collar, so we wear (SNAPON) (DEWALT) (CAT) (CARHART), and that's cool but we want to be on that list of merchandize you wear when you want to let everyone know that you are a professional mechanic, blue collar individual. So support the BKM BRAND that supports you; that is a positive representation of your chosen career.

We understand that the automotive industry is not just a job; it is a way of life for many of us. Our products are designed with this in mind, ensuring that every item we offer meets the highest standards of quality and functionality. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to supporting the mechanic community with innovative and stylish merchandise that celebrates their hard work and dedication.

Research indicates that apparel designed for specific professions can enhance both performance and morale, and we strive to contribute positively to the work environment of mechanics.

Thank you for the support!
