Hey Marko,

There are brokers and companies out there that will help you get an invention to market but its definitely a "buyer beware". For every one legitimate company there is another con man looking to exploit an idea or outright steal it. Most ideas are not really patent worthy. But, if you have something that could be the next big "it", its worthwhile to get it protected. Here is the government website to give you some more input:

marko....if you really do have a good tool that you want to sell, make sure you take the steps to patent it. Or else, you will be like me and make a video of your new tool, then somebody will steal it and put it up for sell on ebay like this. :(

Good to see you too Marko, thanks for the welcome.

Nah, I'm not worried about it. I didn't make it for the money, I made it to help other greasers save money so they don't have to spend $300 on something they could make themselves for $30 like that ebay jerk is trying to do.

The plans for it are made available when one becomes an associate member of the Grease Police. I don't sell them to anybody else either.

Oh it's super simple... there are a couple little tricks that I have perfected to make it work better than a mossmatic that you can't see in the video, but it's still super simple to make and the parts should be at the local hardware store.
