    Hi rimshot9 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Interesting! Feel free to add a link to your site in your forum signature.

    How did the tool design and manufacturing process go? Any words of advice for people on this site who might be considering producing a commercial version of a homemade tool?

    Whilst not wanting this kind of advertising to escalate I dont have a problem with this one, in fact I think posting something so simple to make like this on a site dedicated to people making things for themselves may have been a bit of an own goal, I like the idea so I will make one for myself.

    I think this is a blatant disregard of the spirit of this site! Your post includes zero information on what the actual product is and just links to a commercial site. This is just a lazy commercial post that was probably repeated on many forums in a copy & paste manner. I'm sorry but this contributes nothing to the community and is a perfect example of the antithesis of this site...

    Disagreed. I like having small tool inventors post here, and often email them to invite them to this forum. Although somewhat commercial, it's a far cry from spam. While there is mention of Handee Clamp on other forums, I don't see this post copy-pasted anywhere else.

    Actually he is not the inventor he just purchased the rights to manufacturing.
    I had to go look up the original post where he answered my questions about it here. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/handy-clamp-tool-$12-00-a-29486 I have had one of these in my tool box since the 70's or early 80's

    Ah, OK, thanks, my error. Who did invent it? Is it patented?

    It may be an example of shameless commercial exploitation, but what the hey? It's kind of a cool idea, and if we can help a small, mom & pop type manufacturer off to a good start, lets do it. It might create some jobs in this country, and put some money into our domestic economy. Because, America, right?

    I'm sorry if anyone is offended by my thread. I could have explained everything about the tool here but it is so much better explained on our web-site {which my son made}. I'm not much good at the pr stuff like my son. I just put the tools together and ship them. The tool was invented by a local farmer years ago. We bought the existing inventory and dies. After years of sitting in cardboard boxes each tool is cleaned, inspected, and either passes or fails as far as being in good condition. We are also experimenting with powder coating. We have the EAA on board and are closing in on a couple other tool companies. Still looking for a few small town retailers. In the mean time Amazon, eBay, and swap meets keep me busy. It's a great little tool made in the USA with American materials and hands. The internet can sometimes be a great thing. Call it what you want---if anyone feels I've disrespected this site you can delete it. Thank You
