Origins

 Yerg Tools was founded by James Thomas, internationally-awarded industrial designer, engineer, and product developer, borrowing inspirations from the late Bruce "Yergy" Yergenson (legacy, moral beacon, loving father, and original creator of some Yerg Tool product designs).

Bruce's son, Miles, has operated a millwork/casework installation business for over thirty years, having been taught wood craft by his father from a young age. He has developed working samples of numerous tools, fixtures, and jigs; as well as many unique installation methods and techniques.

James was the lead design engineer for Ross Reels & Able Reels, highly respected outdoor sports brands, where he received numerous international awards for his designs and contributing innovations in the industry
