After three decades of enduring the inefficiencies and hazards of conventional utility access methods, Pat Joyce's patience finally wore thin.

Fed up with the status quo, he channeled his frustration into innovation and brought the Chicago Claw to the industry.

Pat Joyce, with his team at Keltic Industries, has been in the plumbing and utility business for over 30 years. After inventing tools to simplify and improve the safety of large-scale projects for his own teams, he decided to share his innovative tools with the rest of the industry, increasing efficiency, reducing risk and liability and improving the experience for the workers who just want to get the job done right the first time.
