History: Today marks a revolutionary moment in the world of tools with the introduction of Reach Right. Invented and patented by James Pladson, this innovative tool attachment is posed to transform the way professionals & individuals work with long-handled tools, offering unprecedented levels of ergonomic efficiency and enhanced productivity across many industries.
With an impressive record of accomplishment of 25 years in real estate sales, management and maintenance, James Pladson drew inspiration from his early involvement in his family’s property management business, where snow removal was one of his many roles. Just like everyone else, he experienced a sore back from the excessive strain shoveling causes. It was after completing a long snow route and sitting in class at NDSU (North Dakota State University), he drew a simple sketch of a handle on a shovel which planted the seed for what would become Reach Right today.
After years of refinement and securing a utility patent, James faced the challenge of developing a fastening system that provided optimal safety and reliability. A breakthrough came while using a clamp to secure his camera to a pole. By incorporating this style of clamp into Reach Right’s design, James ensured a firm grip on virtually any long handle tool, eliminating the issues of slipping up when pulling/lifting or down when pushing on the tool.
Safety and user satisfaction have been paramount throughout Reach Right’s development. Its ability to securely attach to a variety of tool shaft sizes while supporting the dynamic positions and movements of users’ upper extremities sets it apart. This essential safety feature ensures Reach Right remains firmly in place, regardless of the force exerted lifting, pulling, or pushing the tool.
Reach Right brings not only increases productivity, but also time and energy savings. It reduces time spent in movements of bending over and lifting again allows workers to devote more time to their tasks, resulting in heightened overall output and profits. Moreover, by preventing back injuries, Reach Right minimizes fatigue and downtime.
Reach Right’s breakthrough ergonomic tool design benefits industries such as snow removal, construction, landscaping, agriculture, and more. Its ease of use, reliability, and safety features position Reach Right as a game-changer for professionals or individuals relying on long-handled tools to complete their work.
