Built from a bad day on the job.
John Wagner spent enough years overhead — running wire, hanging pipe, strapping duct — to know exactly what that position costs you. Not just your time. Your shoulders. Your back. Your career.
The EasyRiser didn't come from an engineering lab. It came from a job site, a sore neck, and a stubborn Newfoundlander who figured there had to be a better way.
Are you the foreman? → lortunder.comAnybody that actually gets their hands on this thing isn't going to want to give it up — and they're going to be damn proud of how obnoxious it is. This thing will save somebody a week's worth of wages. Per floor.
— John Wagner, Tradesperson & Inventor
Yeah. We thought so.
