Inventables: Not Your Ordinary Hardware Store


There are specialty retail stores for hobbies, arts and crafts, and home improvement, but what about a retail store dedicated to inventions and product development? The local hardware stores may not carry everything a budding inventor would need to create something revolutionary. Luckily, a Chicago based company has found a solution to that.

Inventables is an online store where artists, inventors, and product developers can find innovative materials, hardware, and equipment they need to create and develop products, test concepts, and prototypes. The products they have in stock include hard-to-find tools and hardware, innovative materials and electrical devices and exotic materials used for laser cutting. However, these items are only sold in small quantities.  If someone needs these materials in bulk, Inventables can assist the customer by connecting them straight to the supplier or manufacturer. 

Entrepreneur.com considers Inventables to be brilliant concept which is why the company is included in its 100 Brilliant Companies list for 2011.
