The jury's comment:
" We appreciate the shape processing that is different from the usual shape of hand tools. Enlargement, at the end of the handle, contributes to the better ergonomics."
I chose a larger grip area and a distinctive wide grip. Even when screwing is more complicated or harder, the handle provides enough support to create a power to work. It also has two chamfered surfaces to prevent the screwdriver from rolling on the underlay. The handle is made of wood and dipped in teak oil. Natural material - wood - along with the finish mentioned above, is more grip-friendly and prevents unpleasant bruising. It also darkens over time and glistens with use as a reminder that it is a natural material with a soul, not an artificial, unnatural matter. Finally, there is an ending that is metallic and varnished with different colors according to the type of shank. Therefore, different types of screwdrivers are easy to recognize.
