Hyung-duck Kim

Hyung-duck Kim began his career in the motorbike industry due to a longstanding interest in motorcycles. Initially, he was a racer, but he discovered a greater passion for maintenance over racing. One of the coolest aspects of his job is seeing an engine he has meticulously reassembled perform at its best. The role also offers the benefit of traveling and connecting with mechanics from around the world. Among his notable projects are assembling and researching new motorbikes, as well as studying innovative techniques that others haven’t explored. He found inspiration from the Snap-on Korea Office. For those considering a career in the trades, he advises not to hesitate, as the destination is fixed anyway, and recommends investing in Snap-on tools for a shortcut to success. If he could give advice to his younger self, it would be to embrace the oil stains on his hands, as they will ultimately shine more brightly in the future.
