Get More Workbench Space With The Tool Swing
 ✖  |
Rich Meyer, inventor of The Tool Swing, aims to improve the functionality of your workbench. This specially designed workshop aid quickly and easily swings up a vise, bench grinder, sander, chop saw or other tool, then swiftly unlatches and swings it out of your way.
“Growing up on a farm with an innovative father, I learned to create solutions,” Meyer says. “In the early 90s, my cramped garage led to the invention of The Tool Swing. I quickly realized its potential, then patented and designed versions for vises and bench grinders.”
Meyer currently offers two models: one for a vise and the other for a bench grinder. The bench grinder model is rated for over 500 lbs. and made of 10-ga. steel, broken in four directions. It’s laser-cut and CNC-formed from a 10-ga. PO plate.
The vise model is made of 1/4-in. plate, broken in four directions to create a highly solid vise platform with 3/8-in. thick swingarms. Both are laser-cut and durable enough to last several generations. Meyer plans to offer lighter-duty models in the future.
“Anyone with limited workbench space can use The Tool Swing,” he says. “I don’t know of any other device like it out there.”
The Tool Swing Vise costs $395, and The Tool Swing Grinder is $260, with free shipping within the contiguous United States, on the Paragon Pro Manufacturing website.
“This has been a long time in the making,” Meyer says. “I’ve done a lot of the work myself in my little backyard shop—welding, cutting, threading, you name it. Now I’m partners with Paragon Pro Manufacturing. They’ll be producing and marketing The Tool Swing.”
