About this category

Tools are one of the best categories for turning a patent into a product. Buyers understand a better wrench or a smarter tool box at a glance, the parts are made with familiar processes - forging, stamping, sheet metal and injection molding - and a clear feature gives a private-label tool a reason to stand out on a hardware shelf or an Amazon listing.

The patents below were filed only in China, so they do not restrict making and selling these tools in the US. Each product page explains how the tool works, where it fits, what can be customized and what to check before selling in the US - such as rated capacity labels, grip materials and California Proposition 65.

What to look for in this category: clear cutting or load ratings, durable joints and latches, and packaging that shows the feature in one picture.
