DIY Network seeks inventors with “Cool Tools”
Have a cool and clever tool you’ve invented? Want to get it manufactured and unveiled on television?
DIY Network is searching for America’s Coolest Tool that will help people get projects done faster, better and cooler. The winner will receive $10,000 and see their invention featured on the special “Cool Tools Inventor’s Challenge” airing on DIY in late 2009.
Go to www.DIYNetwork.com/cooltools to upload vidoes of your invention, whether it be a brand-new tool to put paint on a wall or a new and improved hammer. Submission deadline is June 8.
Here’s a sampling of what has been submitted so far:
♦Handi-straps — In a very Superman-like way, this easy-to-use strap system helps the user lift weights they never could have on their own.
♦Third Hand Safety Lift — This cool tool accessory saves more than time — it could save a couple of fingers. The safety lift and guard is so handy, practical and smart that it may someday become standard on power saws.
♦Tiger Taco – Box flaps in the way? This contraption makes packing and unpacking simple and easy to do.
Hopefully everyone is feeling inspired now to come up with something cool and clever.
