“I’ve been a stone mason and landscape contractor for the last 30 years and I have the backaches to prove it! I needed to bend less and have a second pair of hands by my side, so I invented the Bystander.”

— Myron P. Johnson
Inventor of the Bystander

The BYSTANDER consolidates all the tools needed on the job in one small 4 sf. area. The tools stay neat and tidy and you’ll never lose them or cause any costly mishaps like tripping over a shovel that’s lying on the ground or inappropriate leaning of hand tools for convenience.
Bystander SpecsOnce you have the BYSTANDER, you’ll find this smart tool has so many other uses – indoors and out:
  • Put a plank across the top and you’ll have a useful shelf in your garage.
  • Clip lights to the top or sides and you’ll have a portable light rack you can use indoors or out.
  • Insert the leg of the tool into the ground and hang your potted plants anywhere you choose to have landscaping.
  • Use it as a clothes rack by hanging garments on hangers along the top arms of the tool.
  • Use it as a sign holder by clamping a metal or plastic sign onto the arms of the tool.
  • With 4 clamps and a plastic bag, the tool transforms into a waste receptacle.

“The Bystander is a “smart tool” because it does so much! It holds all my shovels, spades and picks upright and right by my side. That means I have to bend less and the tools required are always within reach, so there is less time searching, and a more organized work site, which keeps the property owners happy!”
