Around a week ago I was on the Woodpecker site looking at something and remembered that I had an idea to make the story sticks more useful. So I used their generic email link and sent it in. In five days I had exactly what I was thinking of in my hands.
While it is amusing to think of Richard running down to the shop and churning out an idea and making it into a product in that time, what actually happened was almost as impressive.
As I said I sent the email to their info address. Within a couple hours it had been routed to Richard Hummel and he had responded. Turns out that other "great" minds had had the same idea and it was recently finished but not yet in the catalog. And I really had it in my hands five days later.
To me just the fact that they are looking at existing and successful products for ways to improve them is why they are my go to company for squares, marking and measuring equipment. The fact that the boss is as likely to respond directly to emails and on the FOG doesn't hurt a bit either.
