Life-Saving Device's Demonstration Kicks Off Unique Bidding Situation | Shark Tank AUS 

@Nathan Sieber hahah thanks I edited it. Quite naïve of me saying people die 😂

@@papy123098 oh people have probably definitely died from one of these tools anyway. Probably only .01% of total injurys though but someone would have had to die from this

Without proper pain killers and such you can very well die from the pain.

@@Tyshkevich especially in the middle of nowhere in a mining/drilling field. Definitely an extremely nessecary invention

@Nathan Sieber You've obviously never worked in a factory setting or anywhere big tools/machinery are. People have died from hand injuries, even minor. Because of not getting treated right, get infected, etc. I haven't seen 1st hand but I've heard enough especially from those safety meetings.

@Jorge Agustín Solsona Britos just to test something for an hour don't use one of your hands. Then think about living your whole life without it. I believe the life saving was figurative because a miners/construction workers hands ARE there life.

@Jorge Agustín Solsona Britos I've had my leg crushed in a granite accident. It absolutely changed my life and my family's. Taking away somebody's had does change there life. Maybe that's what he's talking about

Jorge Agustín Solsona Britos If you’re underground in a mine and your hand gets cut off, you can bleed out and therefore die. But also, these guys can’t make money without their hands. Their hands feed their families.

MakingExamples lmao it cares about both. Without money there’s no strive for innovation.

@Jorge Agustín Solsona Britos You might be right but your attitude is pretty messed up. You might not value your hands and feet but other people does. A man like that deserves praise, I had a co-worker that got his arm stuck in a transportation belt. Got crushed up to the shoulder and ripped off. The safetystop for the belt was disabeled. The union pushed the company to take responsibility and give him lifetime employment because his career as a mechanic was over. Life and livelyhood goes hand in hand many times, he's now a process operator.

His company is very successful now

@@jochemcode4570 it’s believed that the company (2020) was worth somewhere around 15 - 25 Million USD

Right. It looks like a basic hydraulic trigger on the tool. (similar to an air gun trigger, but for fluid instead of gas.)

@@JonesNate Except for the price. Its gotta be more complicated inside. Of course any specialized industrial tools cost a lot and are usually very well made; expensive when they fail.

@@JohnDoe-zs6gj my guess the cost is less in the tool itself and more in the extreamly low tolerance. If its not 99.99% failure free in rough enviorments its not really doing its job. My guess is they spend $800 on making the part and $1200 testing and scraping ones that dont meet standard.

@@JohnDoe-zs6gj yeah the guts of the trigger have to be pretty technical. If the guy operating the pump is pressing the button then all that pressure is going to the tool, so it has to be able to re-route that pressure until the tool operator pulls the red trigger or else it would blow seals, and then instantly re-route high pressure hydraulic fluid back through the tool.

yeah they were like , "oh fuck, let's hop on this"

Nah they don't. MAYYYYTE.

I can think of at least three different ways to say "mate" off the top of my head.

@Chuck's poke Bear in mind we don't see everything that went on, even less do we know what the couple had been through to get to where they were. Notice they were receiving help from some of the non-participating sharks to get them to negotiate. They were very happy to get half a million (setting themselves up for a comfortable life) and relieve themselves of a lot of stress, freeing him up for another invention too. So I think they did pretty well, all up.

@Chuck's poke Very true. Those sharks didn't make their fortunes by being nice. Too many people go on this show with no real knowledge of what they hope to gain from it. But that's often the case in life and it makes the show interesting to watch.

Nickola Tesla could have learned a few things from this guy. Tesla most amazing inventor of all time but equally the worst business man of all time

Chuck's poke you are right. These are sharks and they devoured this guy. His company is already guaranteed to profit $2,000,000 over the next year with the 800 unit distribution contract and he sold 50% of the entire company for $500,000...... Any business minded person would have easily gotten a 7-figure deal for 50%.

@@S-K69 the 2 mil is not actually profit bro that's gross not net they probably making a mil of profit on that since he said his margins were at 50% but still I think maybe you are right on the deal. That was just one company ordering 800 units they're so many more they be bring in way more than that but at the end of the day they happy with the deal and congrats to them on making a devices that will help people in the work place

I felt that the second he walked in

Am I a bad person for laughing at that?

😂😂😂😂😂

It was a preventable accident

Were you that friend?

Even better deal, “2 cents and no gum”

Even better deal, fuck you this product is now mine and you owe me $6 million for trying to steal our product.

I mean it depends on people, the product, and shark. I have seen some really good deals. Then again also seen a lot of fools who have not done the research on their business or Shark Tank. An some of the sharks are more generous than others.

Even though most of the richest people in the world live in the US. A quick Google search shows this. So they'd at least offer a whole fried chicken leg and 10 cents. Geez.

@@TheAyanamiRei Dragons den is way better in one episode had the great great great grandson of the original John Cadbury in it.

Same in the UK version. Much more respectful that way.

@ Jordan Mc --- I personally would accept a deal that I was looking for if offered right away and if someone were to give me an altimatum to chose now or I'm out... I wouldn't want them as an investor so, they are more than welcome to go out. lol

This tool is for hydraulics, not pneumatics.

@@lazyh-online4839 let me tell you the story of the guy who wasn't as smart as he thought he was.

@@jacencade4019 please do tell.

@@lazyh-online4839 Hydraulics and pneumatic tools work on the same principle. The main difference is the medium used. Hydraulic tools are used when high pressure / stiffness is needed, as fluids don't compress as much as gasses. Air tools are used when you only need moderate torque, but also speed. They're much cheaper and more widely adopoted. I work in construction so we use both hydraulic and pneumatic tools. However, both could make use if this because it's basically a safety shut-off valve. Valves will work for both pneumatic and hydraulic (the valves themselves will need to be able to withstand the higher pressure of hydraulic applications).

The end

Well considering the product is a safety one it is guaranteed to make money, any decent company would buy them and once they become standard and widely available then their use could be made compulsory through legislation

This is going to become industry standard eventually. Knowing your worth isn’t anything to be worried about, counter offers are always needed when being thrown an offer that can be negotiated.

But they didn't, the original ask was 300K for 15%.

They already know those mining companies will pay to avoid legal costs.

Definitely. Only Russians can say "let's feed all the people together" or " hey let's share" and it sound as " let's kill millions thru incompetence"

It was great but they should have asked for way more money initially or negotiated for more. Did you see how fast the sharks said yes?

Shark Tank summary: you have an idea but you want someone else's money to play with.

Putting up capital = risk.

Alex, their demonstration didn't really show how a hand can be injured. With your experience and background, could you please explain how hands get injured? Thanks.

If you allow me, as far as can see the equipment does a movement in one direction only as you can observe, so your hands can not be in any shape or form in any part of the object equipment in the range of the movement keep the hands always behind. Why? Because, where one might work with it, the enviroment(rocks) the shapes varies. That s my 05 cents view.

@@AtlantaTerry if there's any miscommunication between the pump operator and the user operating the torque unit itself then theres always a chance of a body part being close to the working parts, risking being trapped between a hydraulic press. The torque safe gives the person operating the unit the control instead of the pump operator meaning it will only work when they tell it to work.

Yeah I didn't get that. They managed to set up the company, already go an order that will bring in profits of 2 mil and got in contact with a distributor that's talking to 15 different companies for them. I don't know a thing about business myself but it looks like they have at least a rough idea of what they're doing

No! That’s 500K is intended to grow the business. However, I think it’s a good deal. They made the product but they need help to get money out of it. They still own 50% stake so assuming profits reaches millions, by they gonna be millionaires.

@@d7mghamdi567 They are millionaires now

Do they get to keep the money? I thought its an investment in the company. Not cash for them

@@mikelr9633 The 500k is too grow the company. They still get 50% of the profit from sales. They do get 1k for every sale they make.

It dose not stop they just keep going untill it breaks or is shut off.

Same here, pneumatic tool injury. And like you said, it’s almost impossible to imagine the trauma vs a hydraulic tool

How did that happen?

William Uskoski I build military parts and I was torquing a bolt and the wrench slipped off and I put it back on a started torquing again and it grabbed my hand and smashed it against a turret bearing. I was getting trained and I didn't know it was going to grip like that so I wasn't ready.

@Darkfarfetch what? where's your source?

@@rizumaizhar2746 I believe it. That's what happens when you give away 50% of your company. This was a classic case of "this guy has a billion dollar idea, how can I take it?" Number one rule of negotiating with venture capitalists, never give up more than 49% if you want to keep the company. It was a bad deal. They would have been just as successful taking the 30% deal.

@@dalencatt7100 You clearly don't understand finance. 51% is the traditional "magic" number. The reality is you're fine as long as you vote the controlling interest of shares. As it stood here, the couple have 50 percent of the company, while the three "sharks" have 50% between them. This was easily the best deal offered to them. The dude knew how to spot and solve a problem. But had no clue how to actually scale and run a company, let alone a multinational like he now has. Having business partners who do have that experience, knowledge and contacts is invaluable. I guarantee they'd be no where near the volume if they'd taken the other deal.

It's a huge financial liability because the person who gets his hand crushed is usually a mechanic or engineer. That's lost/reduced productivity over a lifetime. This will probably become an industry standard real fast in countries with liability laws.

gotta hand it to you

Yes but that by itself isn't a reason for a business to purchase the device. You have to detail the cost of NOT buying the device.

@@deathsdentist I know, strange right? Most power tools, the ones I've used anyway, have safety triggers (not sure that's a accurate description of what I'm talking about). You'd have thought that if they have that sort of safety for small power tools, they'd have similar safety mechanisms in place for heavy machinery/tools. On a side note, I wonder if they'll invent something to help improve the safety of sheet metal rolling machines? As far as I know the only safety mechanism in place is a foot pedal that, when pressed, turns on the machinery. My ex-wife's colleague crushed his hand at work after getting it snagged on the metal he was rolling and couldn't get off the foot pedal quick enough for it to cut the power to the machine. My ex-wife had to throw the machine in reverse and hit the pedal in order to remove his minced hands - it was an awful sight.

Although I don't think they'll put a dime into it. They'll rely on hytorc norbar etc. To integrate it. And my only other concern is the size for retrofitting to compact cassette units.

There’s no way that company will ever get that big. Trying to get companies to pay double the cost for a tool that expensive just for a cutoff valve is a very hard sell. Even if it becomes popular enough for conscientious customers to fork over that kind of money how long before the companies that produce the tools already to implement a similar valve into the body of the wrench. They’ll be lucky to see half that in the life of the company. 25m - 50% for the margins then 50% of that to the sharks then 50% of that goes to taxes. After all that they’re looking at closer to 3 mil over the next 30 or so years. Not exactly living the life, but sure beats having to work for it. Especially if they get the sharks to push all the distribution. In my opinion, I doubt they make it that long. There patient will expire long before that anyway. They would have been better off going to the largest manufacturer of those tools and licensing the idea to them. At least that way they won’t end up just making a few changes and ripping your idea off.

@@badbatch974 To be honest i suspect it will lead to something like that early exit and force it into regs e.g. say hytorc norbar etc. May have to come up with x dollars to implement their idea obviously rely on a strong patent but this where hopefully the dragons can make the right contracts ned a good legal backing. He'll probably go back together working as a fitter in the future. I suspect but won't have to worry. But I could be completely wrong this is just my uninformed opinion Once this is all over with but knows he fine

Bad Batch, the cost of this device, even at the low volumes the inventors had lined up (800 units per year), is less than the cost of a *single* hand crush injury. Even if you need to buy 10 of them, your company is coming out ahead on the deal the first time it prevents an injury.

It's a lot cheaper than a worker's comp claim and the resulting loss of productivity. Plus it's possible that insurance could even offer discounts on premiums for companies that use these.

$500,000 not $50,000 and designing and building that tool took more than just a few seconds and quite possibly at least $10,000 in testing just to build it right and make sure it works.

Alex I I think they're talking about the counter-offer that was made.

@@alexi2019 it was an additional 50k to get to 500k

@Connor Stiles on the other side, thats 50k of their own money they arent using.

@@alexi2019 manufacturing costs for each one was at least $3000 or so, they have one finished unit which is $3000, the likely made at least a couple other test units to get that deal they mentioned, not to mention working on a couple other prototypes to test (not to mention the costs involved in the testing itself and support equipment such as hydraulic wrench itself, pumps, hardware, etc.) before settling on a finished design.

From what I see, the dude has high hopes for his invention, but understands he doesn't have the foundation needed to take a creation like that world wide. That takes a lot of management, negotiating, beuocracy, etc. He can hold onto that 40% like suggested, and just sit back and watch the money roll in while he sees his invention get the momentum it needes to be a success.

Also, a huge factor is this is the company's first year going big. That WILL make or break them. Even though he doesn't hold majority holding and can no longer have the final say in what the company chooses to do, it will still be up to a board who'll be interested in seeing the company succeed as it lines their pockets. With 40% of 2mil, that still 800k. That's around half of what a middle class individual in a first world country makes in their lifetime working average pay; a lot of money if they get bought out in the first year, which probably wont happen right away amd will just be a higher number if it ever does.

Not really it's bad deal, if you need business experience or management you can always hire them, you don't go around and give half of your company away when the potential growth is very high for some small chump change. If they need financing they can always get it. Also you can always authorize someone to make business decisions for you if you feel you are not capable or experienced enough.

@@noticedruid4985 you need to understand that hiring people for management is nothing compared to 3 investors, each bringing in six figures worth of funding, each well known established in the industry, and each with connections and networks whom they're willing to share. The inventor doesn't have any of that, wont get it from hiring others, and basically said he doesn't want to deal with it himself, he just wants to improve his invention and get it to where it needs to be, really the sharks are the best option for him. It does mean he wont get as much money or have final say on the board of directors, but he will still get huge ammounts through the company, and retain ownership of the patent all while be free to seclude himself in his workshop.
