The Pullstarter

Start pull-start engines with a trigger, not a tug

The Pullstarter was inspired by family and brought to life through engineering. Our founder, a mechanical engineer with a lifelong passion for solving problems, first saw the need while spending time with his grandfather. Though still mobile and independent, his grandfather no longer had the same strength to pull-start engines. Something as simple as mowing the lawn or starting a generator had become frustrating and sometimes painful, requiring multiple attempts and risking injury to his shoulders and back.

As an engineer with a knack for innovation, he recognized that this wasn’t just his grandfather’s problem — it was a challenge faced by thousands of people around the world. Seniors, those recovering from injuries, and even everyday equipment users often struggle with pull cords. The question became clear: Why rely on a century-old method when we have better tools available today?

Driven by both love for his grandfather and a desire to improve lives, he began designing a practical solution. By harnessing something nearly everyone already owns — a cordless drill — he developed a device that could reliably replicate the pull of a cord without the strain. After months of prototyping, refining, and testing across different engines and conditions, the Pullstarter emerged as a lightweight, durable, and effective tool that could start engines consistently with the squeeze of a trigger.

The early prototypes were tested not only by his grandfather but also by neighbors, friends, and other everyday users. The response was overwhelmingly positive: people immediately saw the value in reducing physical strain while making their equipment easier and safer to use. From that feedback, the product was further improved to ensure compatibility with a wide range of machines — from lawn mowers and snow blowers to generators, tillers, and even small outboard motors.

What started as a personal mission has grown into a company-wide vision: making outdoor power equipment accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability. By blending engineering expertise with compassion and real-world usability, the Pullstarter has become more than just a product — it’s a symbol of independence, innovation, and practicality.

Today, NEUCO, Limited proudly carries that vision forward, ensuring that anyone, from professionals to everyday users, can enjoy the freedom of effortless starts without compromise.
