Neat idea - I think the logo could be more "fun"... :) We have done this manually with old tubes before - stripping protective plastic off of aluminum. The ratcheting handle looks like a great idea. Not bad at all - I like it.

Seems like a good idea,but good luck selling it when all u need is a $3 Vise grip and a scrap piece or pole,wood pvc or metal.

We've been using 3" core tube for that purpose for years. And we keep the old film stay on tube as the larger the tube, the easier and faster it goes.

Thanks for the feed back

I agree the 3 inch tubes work on substrates but try stripping a box truck, pan face or a print on metal. The Stripper Pole combined with the ratchet applies the right amount of torque to make stripping vinyl much easier. Honestly we have been in the sign industry 20 years and used all types of various methods to remove vinyl. From experience this is by far the best, nothing has ever been as fast. The tool has spacers on each end that keep the tool from touching the surface and the angle created aids in the removal of the graphic. Check out the vid we are removing vinyl from a pan face and an old van as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXLFtyDYUB0

Don't worry about peddling your wares here for your boss, he's already doing it, elsewhere. As for these jealous people whom have delivered equal tools, theirs just won't cost as much nor look as fancy as yours. Since they didn't think of it first.... they're just a little ticked off.
