You are really going to have to watch your price point if its individual owners.
Target everyone. I am hoping under 100 bucks. I think i can sell 5000 units a year to start.

I want it to be made in America ! Ihave been looking for months and can not find anyone listed that can make it for me. Plenty of places make hand tools, air tools and machine tools. But no cordless electricstuff.

Please dont tell me names like craftsman, riobi, dewalt. I dont want the middle man, i want the manufacturer.besides ,theyre all made in china....
Thanks!

I have been told more than once your better off selling your IDEA to one of the big companies and taking your money.

Rather than spending it all on Patents and still trying to launch it.

So maybe you even sell it with a Continued percentage of forever sales too along with the lump sum.

Just idea's for ya

What you're probably going to end up with is a few boxes of parts/subassemblies sourced from a half-dozen places, varying from hi- to moderate-tech and, unless it is just flag-waving, both Mexico and Canada have a lot of small shop sources, and certainly Europe does.

I suspect, other than grips, the mechanicals and electrics will be off-the-shelf ... somewhere. "Cordless" may be more than a small issue, from an IP standpoint, as the technology is still young enough to have lots of patents wandering around. If there is some particular cordless design you favour, have you talked to them about licensing, or buying motors and linkages?

PM me with your number and we can talk about it.

Speaking of ... (and not to hijack your thread, overly) ... does anybody make these 'elevator' boxes? even custom fabricated?

No screws. It may cost some money, but there is money to be made.
