Research abstract
The Grypmat was originally born into aviation to solve a common problem among aircraft mechanics, tool accessibility. Tom Burden, an ANG Air Force mechanic faced this problem everyday and created this unique solution to solve the problem. After the initial solution was created, the product was adapted to solve more problems such as tool accountability and tool identification, along with expanding the product line to multiple sizes. Since then, over a hundred thousand Grypmat’s have been sold into the auto and aviation industries. The defense industry is next.
