Hello From Bobby Martin in Waco, Texas!
Meet Bobby Martin.
THE STORY OF THE OMNISHELF:
As an oilfield service controls technician, Bobby often faced the frustration of too many work gadgets and too few hands to hold onto it all while trying to get the job done. If only he could pack up his desk and carry it with him. When using a laptop there was never a place to set it down. He would either have to hold it with one arm and type with another or sit on the floor.
After a lot of thinking, planning and problem-solving, the OmniShelf was born.
Now he wants to share it with all the hard-working folks out there.
THE OMNISHELF DESIGN
The OmniShelf employs the hexagon honeycomb design -- the strongest shape found in nature -- to reinforce both sides of the case. The deep briefcase design holds laptops, tools, and accessories. The case opens on steel cables into a super-sturdy work station that can attach to most surfaces.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I attach the OmniShelf when using magnets?
1.) The desired surface must be clean and rust free. With the OmniShelf, (Portable Magnetic Workstation), closed, attach it to a metal surface that is 16 gauge or thicker. Make sure hands and fingers are not between the shelf and the wall while attaching. The OmniShelf must be in full contact with the surface.
2.) Pull the OmniShelf open by pulling on the handle or the top corners.
