S2e67 – Invention Success Story; Listen to the Hang-O-Matic Story
Dec 19, 2017
The Hang-O-Matic was developed by the husband and wife team of
Jared and Karina Rabin. Rewind to 2008 when Jared and Karina were
first time homeowners and facing a task that every homeowner,
decorator, handyman and even college students have faced at one
time or another. As Karina was decorating her new home office, the
seemingly simple task of hanging a shelf straight on a wall proved
to be anything but. After making several trips to the hardware
store and patching and repainting the wall, the shelf was finally
up and proudly displaying an irreplaceable snow globe she received
from her in-laws, which was customized to play their wedding song
from the 70’s. Needless to say, it had immense sentimental value.
Before she could finish decorating, the snow globe fell, shattered
to pieces, and water spilled everywhere. The shelf was tilted by
only a fraction of an inch.
It was then, that Jared remembered a picture hanging tool he had
invented in college. He dusted off the first prototype of the
Hang-O-Matic and hung the shelf perfectly level in one try. This
tool was just too good to keep to themselves, they had to share it
with the world. With Jared’s clever design and Karina’s vision for
success, the Hang-O-Matic was born and together this couple set out
to pursue their American Dream and make your life a little easier
along the way. Fast forward to present day where Jared and Karina
are now proud business owners. Their desire to solve a simple
problem with an innovative, yet easy-to-use solution led to
Hang-O-Matic being a household and DIY essential.
