About Us
How it Started
The idea for the Pocket Tester came from working with trailers every day and noticing how the testing process could be simpler. We wanted to remove the small frustrations that come with bulky or complicated testers and focus on what really matters — something compact, reliable, and easy to use. The Pocket Tester grew from that goal, built to make the job smoother for anyone who works with trailers.
From Idea to Reality
This project started in a small shop with no background in product design, just the determination to make a better tool. Every version, mistake, and late night led to something stronger and more refined. What began as an idea is now a working product made to save time, reduce frustration, and make the job easier for others who face the same challenges.
A message from the Owner
“I was a trailer mechanic with a goal to create a reliable, compact trailer tester. When I started, I had no idea where to begin or what it would take to make a real product. What I thought would be a quick project ended up taking a few years, and I stumbled plenty of times along the way. Honestly, if I knew how long it would take, I probably wouldn’t have done it — but it’s finally done. Even if this product doesn’t succeed, it was all worth it. Through the process, I developed a real passion for designing and creating useful tools. I believe this idea was given to me for a reason, and I hope this product makes an impact in the industry. I thank God, my family, and my friends for helping me along the way. I’m proud of the Pocket Tester and I’m excited to see others enjoy it as much as I have. God bless.”
