The place
A working sink at 10592 Sunset Ave. Desert Hot Springs, California. Real drain. Real mess.
Origin
Never again.
10592 Sunset Ave · Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240
Invented by Raymond Montiel. Born under a working sink — not a lab, not a committee.
Under the sink. A giant stick. A fight with a pole.
The stick would not fit. It would not stay put. A simple clog felt like a fight with a pole. That was the last time.
The problem
A giant stick under a basin. Distance, sliding, no feel. The pole turned a small miss into a skip.
The decision
Do not replace the toilet plunger. Add a tool for everything else but the toilet.
The product
Same force cup. No shaft. A palm print on top. Press close. Feel the seal.
Never again. Only one if it’s kind.
The split
Kindness is the rule.
Palmpress is an add-on. The stick plunger stays on the toilet — reach and distance where you want them. Palmpress takes sinks, showers, tubs, floor drains, dish pits, and hotel vanities. We built this for everything else but the toilet.
Why make it
Obvious in the hand. Fits the space.
Obvious in the hand
No manual. Hand finds the print. Cup finds the drain.
Fits the space
Drawer, under-sink, dish station. Not a four-foot stick in a closet.
Cleaner story
Sold beside the plunger, not against it. Kitchen goods, hotels, under-sink.
Better seal feel
Close range cuts sliding plunges. Strong in restaurants and hotels.
Lives with the sink
TPR cup, firm palm dish, a rim you can lift. Home is a drawer, not a closet pole.
Kindness is the split
Do not mash toilet and sink into one tool. Gray-water drains get their own.
