Multi Power Tool Holder is a new invention made of steel to solve the problem like the examples on the left of this page. Each example is a holder to allow one to use both hands to hold an item being sanded. As you can see a number of people have built holders to solve this problem. However none of them will work with more than the single manufactured model tool they were sculpted to hold. For example mine at the top is two pieces of plywood cut differently to fit different contours on each side of my sander. This means it will not work to hold any other sander even others made by the same manufacturer.

Because of this problem I began to study different sanders and discovered a way to make one tool that will adjust to hold every belt sander I have found. I have examined every sander sold in hardware stores and it will fit each of them with ease. Even large hand held floor belt sanders.

Not only will it hold every belt sander but also every wood planer as well. It works without changing parts or without difficult adjustments. In most cases it is only a matter of adjusting two clamps connected to a base. My holder can also be positioned to hold tools in the upside down position like the first pictures or in a vertical or sidewise position. It is light weight and easily portable or stored. It can ship in a box 12x4x3 inches.

A belt sander in my tool holder is immovable in a fixed position, in other words it does not vibrate out of the holder or wobble during aggressive sanding.

It may be possible to make this tool out of plastics.

The most important question after determining if it works is: "Is there a market for this tool holder?"

The evidence of the market and its advantages are;

  • Many people are making home made holders for their individual sanders and posting them on the internet as ideas or plans for sale. This is evidenced by the web sites that posted these pictures. Go the the Tool Holders by Others for links to their web sites. I believe my tool holder will retail for less than it cost these people to build their holders, and theirs are restricted to one tool.
  • It solves a needed problem
    • Giving home owners and handymen a cheep replacement for an expensive table sander that they often do not have the room to store and may only use a few times.
    • Giving contractors who have table sanders a portable device they can attach to a sawhorse on a job site saving the cost and time to return to the shop when something needs sanding with precision. For example a cabinet installer or stair railing installer.
    • It multiples the uses and quality of belt sanders or wood planers. Such as in the examples in the pictures providing precision sanding of wood or to sharpen steel tools.
  • My tool holder may retail for under $30.00 dollars making it something most people who already have belt sanders will buy.
  • It may even motivate a hesitant buyer of a belt sander to buy both a belt sander and this tool.
  • It may cost less than $5.00 dollars to manufacture giving a good profit margin.
  • People who use belt sanders are often people who buy tools such as this one. Because of its multi tool application, price, and functions it will be very attractive. For example as a former contractor I bought any tool that would make my work and time more efficient. Something such as this for under thirty dollars would be very attractive to all handy persons and contractors. Employers would buy it to make their workers more productive and save on additional returns to the shop.
  • In to days depressed market I see this tool doing well because it provides a way to save labor thus saving costs.
  • Attachments can be sold separately to provide tables, guides, and even additional parts so it can hold circular hand held power wood saws.
  • The real advantage is that no one has a device that will do what my multi power tool holder will do.
  • No one no where has such a device on the market that will hold more than one tool.

Although I have patent pending protection for the US market I do not have protection for international markets. Because I believe it has great international potential I will disclose it with a disclosure statement and I have a working prototype built.
