I am Gary Goodrich, an inventor. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. Professionally, I have spent 22 years designing/inventing hand tools and fixtures for assemblies and assembly processes. I am inventor or co-inventor on 11 patents in very diverse fields and industries, all in products. 3 patents for a semiconductor chip attach process, the design of a seam roller wheel, carpet stretcher gauge, 3 carpet iron patents, 2 laser optics patents, and a laser hand tool configuration patent. I do not install carpet but I do get down on my knees and work with the tools I design and produce to make your job easier. You can trust that the products we sell on gwcarpettools.com have been designed to give you the best possible results or they won’t carry the Goodrich-Woo Label.
