An idea that formed in Chad Archibeck's head almost three years ago has given birth to American assembly jobs that would not have existed without his fortitude and financial investment in his product, Re-String It, which has launched this quarter. He has taken the annoying, time consuming problem of drawstrings coming out of hoodies and pants and designed a problem solving tool that is more textile friendly and longer lasting than any of its competitors.
Additionally, having lived in a city hard-hit by the housing downturn, he also understands the need to get America back to work – and he's not waiting on a president for help. "Restring-It has already employed dozens of U.S. workers in the assembly process and has the potential to put hundreds of Americans back to work," Chad explained.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. unemployment hit 8.1 percent in April 2012. With companies like Research In Motion and HP laying off even more employees recently, the question becomes where will the next big invention come from that can employ U.S. workers? With his new product, Re-String It, Chad is solving two problems with one solution. Having founded CWA Enterprises, Re-String It now saves pants and jobs.
"It's not easy to create an invention, find trustworthy help, secure a patent, and get it manufactured and assembled with no guidance," says Chad, who has done all of this research himself. "You really end up becoming an expert in American innovation."
Re-String It is a universal drawstring re-threader designed to quickly and easily re-thread anything with a string. The adjustable loop allows for any thread type from flat threads to round threads. The edges on the loop are rounded which will allow for any thread composition to be used from silk to cotton and the clothing won't get frayed. While the invention may sound simple, Chad knows that the devil is in the details. "I give customers a life-time guarantee because the product is perfect. Its anodized aluminum material means it won't rust and the flexible body and rigid front guarantee easily and safe travel through any channel."
The uncharted path of bringing an invention to market can be so difficult that it can prevent a good idea from ever seeing the light of day. For Chad, he is not only seeing an enthusiastic response to his product, but has also been formally acknowledged for his hard work and tenacity. "The Next Best Zing" announces yearly awards in several categories, including Men, Women, and Everyone. Re-String It received the Winne women's jackets r of Everyone Category for 2012. But the accolades haven't stopped there.
The unsolicited reviews on Re-String It's website keep pouring in with high marks. One customer was so excited about this must-have domestic tool that she paid to promote Re-String It as a Loyola Marymount University's Race for Success 5k Fundraiser sponsor.
As the product continues to grow in popularity, CWA expects to provide many more jobs for American workers and save many more pants from the trash bin.
