About this listen

In this episode of "Made in America," we sit down with Ben Weinreich, the founder of Green Tech Tools, to discuss how a brutal 10-hour deck demolition job inspired a revolutionary line of tools. Ben shares his journey from being a licensed contractor to an inventor, solving back-breaking problems for DIYers and pros alike.


We also dive deep into the reality of manufacturing. Ben reveals why he stopped importing from overseas—citing 500% material cost hikes and logistical nightmares—and moved production to Ohio and Maryland to regain control and quality.
