Landon has been in the construction and wood-working trades since age 14, originally building 3-rail fences for horse property owners in Calabasas, California\u2026and then immersing himself in all phases of home construction, cabinet-making and advanced finish carpentry. Landon\u2019s incentive was to create for himself a panel carrier that would effectively grip and carry large, heavy, cumbersome sheets of plywood, Melamine and other such panels in a way that would simplify those tasks and relieve the strain on his back and other body parts. He was only in his early 30\u2019s but already experiencing tendonitis in his forearms and fingers.<\/p>\n<p>With his prototype Gorilla Gripper in hand and proof-of-function accomplished Landon approached his step-father, Jim Cole, a long-time independent businessman, to seek his assistance in getting the Gorilla Gripper financially supported, patented, produced and marketed. A partnership was formed and Landon continued to perfect the product. In 2005 Jim and Landon formed Landon Innovations LLC, began production and proceeded to offer this unique, back-saving product to the hard-at-work public.<\/p>\n<p>Demonstration videos of both products can be seen on this website…as well as the commercial ‘Get a Grip’ video which is virtually guaranteed to leave you laughing out loud!<\/p>\n<p>Landon Innovations has since brought to market some other products which include three additional Gorilla Grippers to accommodate additional ranges of panel thickness.<\/p>\n<p id=\"u3432-20\"><strong>The ‘Gripper’ line now comprises:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gorilla Gripper ‘General Purpose’ Model (0 – 3\/4″ capacity)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gorilla Gripper ‘Contractor’ Model (<b>1\/2″<\/b> \u2013 1-1\/8\u201d capacity)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gorilla ‘Door’ Gripper (1-1\/4″ to 2″ capacity)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gorilla Gripper ‘Advantage’ Model (0 – 3\/4″ capacity).<\/p>\n<p>The theory and reality are that Gorilla Grippers are less expensive than a single visit to a chiropractor and infinitely less expensive than a lifetime of back problems that can certainly result from improperly bending, lifting and carrying heavy, cumbersome sheet-goods the ‘old-fashioned’ way!
