Inventor Inquiries

Tool Innovations gets its ideas from years of experience their designers spent in the construction field as contractors. We know that there are many more great ideas lurking about with the thousands of contractors and tradesmen who are actually swinging the hammers and running the saws everyday. We would like to hear from you and work together to develop these ideas to become a licensed Tool Innovations product.

We are primarily interested in ideas that involve non-powered hand tools used in construction, framing, remodeling, renovation work, and roofing, but will entertain looking into other ideas as well.

Contacting Tool Innovations with Your Idea

If your idea is patented, or patent pending, please go to our Contact page and give a general description of the product idea.

If your idea is not patented, or patent pending, or at least have what they call a “Provisional Patent”, please do not send us your idea. We evaluate many products each week and are constantly developing our own new ideas, and do not want somebody to think we stole their idea from them. Today, there are a’lot of similar products and a patent helps protect both you and Tool Innovations from disagreements.

Tool Innovations' Suggestions for Inventors

Go to the U.S. Government website on patents: www.uspto.gov. At this site is good information, and valuable resources that are not too complicated.

Limited resources? Look closely at, and read about, the section on “provisional Patents”, for they are not expensive, you can do this yourself, and it still gives you some protection and buys you time until you figure out your next moves/steps.

• Be specific as to what it does, or does better.
• Who are the potential users of it?
• How many people would it appeal to?
• What is it better than or replacing?
• Where would it be sold? How much would one pay?

The endeavor of taking an idea that’s in your head, putting it to paper, then to making a prototype, and ultimately into the market as a viable product is hard work. You must be persistent, and realistic as well. Lastly, be careful with your invention, for there are companies who will make empty promises that will want you to spend a’lot of money with them. Simply do your homework and use good judgement and good luck to you!
