Founders of Torque Safe & Story behind it.
Torque safe is a product created by an entrepreneurial husband & wife combo. Luke and Vanessa Gosden are the duo behind the successful safety device Torque Safe.
Luke claims to have experience on mining for over a period of 10 years. During his mining days He had to use many hydraulic powered tools.During this period of time in mines, Luke goes through many accidents that occur due to hydraulic power tools. Sadly he witnesses his mate crushing his hand with a hydraulic crusher. Luke immediately thinks of a better way to make hydraulic power tools safer for people to use. This is where he comes up with the idea for Torque-Safe.
What is Torque Safe?
Most of the hydraulic power tools need two people to operate. This increases the risk of getting in to accidents. One person controls the hydraulic power while the operator operates the tool. Luke finds out that one of the main reasons that calls for accidents is the miscommunication between the two people. Luke’s invention gives the ideal solution for this problem by giving the full ultimate control of the device to the person who handles the tool.
According to Torque Safe official website, Their product gives the
“ultimate control of tool actuation is in the hands of the person handling the tool.”
What Happens on the Shark Tank?

“If you’re out on a remote mining site, there’s no medical attention apart from the EMO on-site,”
“They have to get a flying doctor flown in, and there’s huge medical bills, and it can be a slow process.”
