Abstract

Modern design of manual hand tools has to meet all requirements of usability, safety and comfort. Today's use of new technologies in design, prototyping and production enables the development of hand tools that, with their form, material and finish, enable better interaction between the user and his tool. This paper describes the process of designing and evaluating a hammer handle that would increase the performance, comfort and safety of the operator and at the same time prevent musculoskeletal disorders.
