Rows of finished CINCH-N-LIFT handles laid out on workshop tables
A production run of handles, built in the U.S.A.

Our story

Invented on the job, by a plumber who'd had enough.

Mike Messersmith spent 27 years as a plumber, most of them with Ambassador Plumbing Company, carrying water heaters in and out of garages, closets and attics, and every one risked straining his back.

So he built the tool he wanted: a pair of magnetic handles with a ratchet strap that turn a slippery tank into something you can grab with a 100% grip, squat down to and dead-lift with a straight back. He stopped using a hand cart altogether.

“I can't make money if I'm flat on my back.”

Today Arizona Lifting Solutions is still a family business, and CINCH-N-LIFT is still made in the U.S.A.

“Product makes lifting water heaters a cinch.”
