If you’ve been to Greenville’s next up-and-coming business space, Hampton Station, you’ve most likely seen Lever Gear, a strong presence in the area’s entrepreneurial atmosphere. Lever Gear was founded by Mike Scully, who built the business from the ground up and launched their first product on Kickstarter in March of 2016. The product was the Toolcard Pro, combining 40 tools into one TSA compliant, compact and durable design. Each Toolcard is made with blade quality of 420 stainless steel, heat treated for added strength, and marked with laser technology by a programmed robot. With different color options that include silver or tactical black. All customers then have the chance to personalize their tool card by adding a name, date, or even a logo! Making it the perfect gift for any anniversary, birthday or Father’s Day! The price points range from $19.60 – $42.00, with free shipping on all orders over $50.
Greenville360’s personal experience with Lever Gear occurred last October while the founder and CEO David Kabrin was searching for the perfect affordable gift for the groomsmen in his wedding. Drawn to Lever Gear because of it’s local Greenville presence and customizability, David decided to get the Toolcard Pro for each of his groomsmen with their names engraved on the front. The process was completed within a matter of days, and everyone loved the practicality of their Toolcard, as well as its personal touch!
Since their first launch back in 2016, the Toolcard innovators behind Lever Gear have since grown the company to require increased productivity to meet its demand. Enter the MECCO robot, the newest addition to the Lever Gear team! This powerful robot is able to produce 200 Toolcards in 4 hours, as opposed to the previous rate of 30 tool cards in the same amount of time.
With all that growth it means there are more exciting new products on the horizon. So mark those calendars for Thursday, May 17th as Lever Gear will have their latest Kickstarter Launch Party for their newest addition at Hampton Station! All are welcomed and we’ll have more details as we get closer.
