Anyone submit tool ideas to Lisle

[pattenp]

Lisle tools will manufacture tools from ideas submitted to them. Has anyone in this forum submitted an idea to Lisle for a new tool that they used?

I submitted twice I think. Both rejected, but at least they did respond with a letter. I was suprised.

How much of a check? I would be interested to know what they will pay (and for how long).

I took a one time payment of 500 dollars for this idea about 30 years ago. I still have the prototype somewhere

The way they use to do it was either pay you in a one time check or a small percentage over the entire production life of the tool.

I heard they pay either a 1 time check or a percentage of how many units they sell a month.

His is a percentage of monthly sales. I know the tool is a specialized tool for adjusting the e brake shoe Dana 80 rears from stupid duties of a specific age range.

Good guy, I know he used to drive the only S-K truck in Colorado several years back and now he does corporate fleet maintenance mainly on stupid duties.
