LANDON WORTHINGTON AND MARVIN DINOVITZ

Gorilla Gripper

Landon and Marvin are good friends who work together in the construction business. Both are loving fathers of two who live in Malibu and Oxnard Shores, CA, respectively. Landon worked alone for some time and unfortunately began to develop carpel tunnel syndrome from all of the heavy objects that he was forced to carry on his own. In 2001, he began developing The Gorilla Gripper as alternative way to lift many of the cumbersome sheet goods that construction workers work with each day.
