A young inventor pitches the Select-A-Wrench, but has his idea already been invented?

It’s a rocky road for 16-year-old boy, a survivor of five open heart surgeries, who invents a cool tool. Successful inventor brothers roll the dice on a new invention and a victim of identity theft comes up with a way to combat electronic pickpockets.

Tonight’s episode features:

• SELECT-A-WRENCH multi-tool.
• Identity Stronghold’s SECURE SLEEVE that protects credit cards from electronic pickpockets.
• CLEAN SWEEP , the successor to the hit Swivel Sweeper.

Cold Fire is an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agent that puts out ANY fire faster, safer, with less water, less damage to property, and less risk to firefighters.

The Hexlight is a hands-free flashlight developed by a US Marine.

In new season of PITCHMEN, Anthony “Sully” Sullivan tries to pick up the pieces and continue making inventors’ dreams come true after the sudden death of his longtime friend and pitch-partner Billy Mays. Sully scours the country, holding “Pitch-a-Thons” to give everyday inventors a shot at catching his eye with their simple solutions to common problems.

Each episode will feature the good, bad, and hilarious ideas that Sully comes across and we’ll follow the inventions from first pitch to final commercial to see if the risk pays off for their dare-to-dream inventors. From razors to wrenches, the products featured this season are more revolutionary — and, at times, outlandish — than ever before.

But will they have what it takes to hit it big?

Tonight’s episode is titled, “PASSING THE TORCH”, and features a hands-free flashlight and a liquid fire-extinguisher in a can.

Discovery Channel’s PITCHMEN, the 12-part series that featured the late Billy Mays II and his business partner, Anthony ‘Sully’ Sullivan, will be back for a second season. Because of the success of the series first season, and as a tribute to Mays’ legacy, the show will continue. PITCHMEN, which is produced by Original Productions, a division of Freemantle Media, took viewers behind the curtain into the billion dollar infomercial industry, as Mays and Sullivan helped everyday men and women bring their inventions to the masses. Discovery Channel is developing the format of season two with Mays’ son, Billy Mays III, Anthony Sullivan and Thom Beers, CEO of Original Productions. More information will be announced as it becomes available. A premiere date for season two of PITCHMEN hasn’t yet been set.

In addition, the Pitchmen tribute to Billy Mays will air again on Friday, July 24 at 10PM ET/PT
