Approach
Critical to this project was listening to and understanding the client’s needs. The Industrial Design team created a series of concepts that focused on functionality, ergonomics, and key brand design features. The engineering team developed these concepts into manufacturing-ready part and assembly databases.
Solution
The Circuit Alert multifunctional hand tools are easily identifiable as a Gardner Bender product. This family includes a utility knife, lineman’s pliers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and a flashlight among others.
