Custom Tools

Custom Tools are where the Amick no-touch tool line opens up to the work that doesn't fit a standard configuration. Whether it's a non-standard length, a modified head profile, an unusual material combination, or a head type built specifically for a single customer's application, custom work is core to how we operate. If you have a positioning task that a stock tool doesn't solve, we'll build the tool that does.

The process is direct. Sketch it on a napkin, describe it over the phone, send a photo of the workspace, or walk us through the problem — we'll work backward from what the tool needs to do to figure out how to build it. Bar diameter, shaft length, head geometry, handle style, materials, weight balance, and any specialty features are all variables we adjust to match the work. There are no minimum order quantities for custom builds; we'll fabricate a single tool for a single application if that's what the job calls for.

Custom Tools draw from the same materials, head types, and handle options that define the rest of the no-touch tool line, but the combinations are unrestricted. A wood-shafted tool with a custom steel head profile, a 12-foot aluminum tool for extreme overhead reach, a Shepherd Staff with a non-standard hook radius, a double-headed tool with different heads at each end, a head shaped to fit a specific load contour — all of these have been built before, and all of them remain available. The five certified inspectors in our shop have 150+ years of combined experience between them, and every custom build draws on that depth.

Sketch it, describe it, we'll build it. Custom work is core to what we do — call 412-429-1212.

Type

Fully custom no-touch tool fabrication. Variables include bar or shaft diameter, length, head type and geometry, handle style, material combinations, and specialty features. No minimum order quantity. Builds available in wood, aluminum, steel, or mixed-material configurations using any standard or custom head profile.

Applications

Any positioning, pushing, pulling, guiding, or specialty rigging-contact task that a stock no-touch tool doesn't fit. Common custom requests include non-standard lengths for unusual reach requirements, modified head geometry for specific load shapes, specialty handles for ergonomic or industry-specific needs, and tools built to match equipment or workspace constraints. Used across construction, manufacturing, steel mills, oil and gas, power generation, motorsports, and any operation with a positioning challenge outside the standard catalog.
