Jim Allen has started four companies in the appliance industry beginning in 1992 at the age of twenty-three.

Appliance Repair Specialists was his first company and his foundation for future companies to come.

In 2006 Jim wanted to move into the world of online e-commerce as he knew there was a huge potential for growth. In August of 2006 Appliance Parts Specialists was launched and was an immediate success!

It wasn't long before Jim began working on an improved version of Appliance Parts Specialists, plans were under way to launch a more customer oriented and easy to use website for customers to come and find what they were looking for quickly, make their purchase, and get their parts in a short amount of time, and for the least expensive cost, this led to the creation of Appliance Zone.

With the start-up of Appliance Zone in October 2008, it is expected to achieve sales of over $8 million in 2009 and doubling that in 2010, Jim believes the simple recipe for success is; offer your customers the best service possible mixed with the best price possible and you can't go wrong!

Jim acknowledges that many new challenges await Appliance Zone in the coming years but is quite confident with his customer service team, and internet technology specialists that Appliance Zone will become the number #1 choice for consumers when it comes to repairing their own appliances

The Allenbar : Appliance Technicians You're Going To LOVE This Tool!

March 2004

I designed this for my own personal use when I was an appliance service technician. Around 2002 I was changing a motor in a whirlpool dryer and I was having a hard time getting the last motor clip fastened down, generally most service guys use a flat blade screwdriver to do this, anyways the screwdriver slipped off the clip and there went my left hand right across the motor mount resulting in several stitches. Afterwards I called my parts supplier up and asked our sales rep if he could locate a tool that would help prevent this sort of thing from happening again. After checking with Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire, and GE he was unable to locate any kind of tool that could be used specifically for changing dryer motors. So I decided then to make something up for myself to use, after a few attempts I finally found a design I was happy with. I carried this around in my tool box for about a year when I decided that since it worked so well I would try my hand at selling it to other service technicians such as myself. After several thousands of dollars in design, packaging, logo's, advertising, and of course...lawyers, my product hit the shelves nationwide of most major appliance parts distributors in 2004. To date about twenty thousand have been sold worldwide but most right here in the good ole USA! It was definitely a trying experience and I'm glad my wife and kids pushed me to follow through with it because there were definitely times I wanted to abandon the project. It won't ever bring millions but if this handy tool can save a few appliance technicians knuckles from being busted up or fingers sliced, then I guess its worth it! Most appliance distributors carry the Allenbar nationwide.

After Searching for a tool specifically designed for removing retainer clips, and coming up dry, Jim was determined to make his own. Jim Allen perfected his invention and named it The Allenbar. Buy It Here!
