Quality tools are not made by pure chance....
Why does our saw look the way it does? How long did
it take us to develop it? And how could we be absolutely
sure that professional user would like it?
The answer is simple: Quality tools are developed in
collaboration with professional users, ergonomists and
industrial designers, methodical and without rush.
Bahco Ergo is a groundbreaking concept giving the
user an efficient and controllable precision tool that
reduces the strain on muscle and bone structures. The
palm of our hands contains no less than 1700 nerve endings
and each time we take a firm grip of a hand tool 42
muscles is put to work. These were the facts that already
in 1982 lead us to launch the world's first ergonomic
screwdriver based on scientific studies of the use of
hand tools and the factors important in hand tool development.
There was a time when professionals were satisfied
if a tool was well made and lasted a reasonable length
of time, today they are more demanding. Why should a
tool be "either/or"? Why not both/and? Both:
powerful, durable, reliable - and: functional, ergonomic,
comfortable. The truth is, these two aims are not mutually
exclusive. As a matter of fact, a growing number of
professional users now demand tools that meet the highest
standards of performance and simultaneously reduce the
risk of injury in the short- and long-term. Here are
the most important demands put on modern, functional
tools.
