Independent Tool Solutions, now Independent Tools, was started at the beginning of 2005 to launch a new portable multi-tool called the Pocketdresser. Designed primarily for the needs of the disabled community, the Pocketdresser introduces a bold new tool concept whose time is long overdue and has also proved to be a practical invention for the general public. The Pocketdresser is an original design and has received a U.S. utility patent testifying to its unique multi-tool design and specialized application. For years, little to no design improvement had been made in the tools manufactured for the disabled to help with dressing needs. Only variations in the traditional stick-and-wire-loop were available. The size of the wire loop limited the size of button it could accommodate and the thin wire assured bending and breakage with everyday use. In addition, the wire-loop is not designed to tackle the leverage and reach requirements for pants or trousers. This, combined with pocket importability, all led to the design parameters found on the Pocketdresser. During its development, innovative features were added such as the adjustable hand strap and the large triangle apertures for easy tool deployment. Additional tools were featured on prototypes, which sported scissors, tweezers, and knife blades, attempting to maximize the designs utility. Eventually a practical design was agreed upon. An ultra-lightweight “open frame” handle accommodating four strong specialized tools. After one year, real life testing proved the design was practical and the materials would hold up to routine everyday dressing jobs.

Our company not only holds itself to high standards, we also recognize the efforts made by others contributing to outstanding quality designs for the disabled public. Our company is proud to include the expertly designed Maddox knife for individual food preparation. The Maddox is everything a disabled knife should be and outshines any other product that would claim the same.
