A culmination of miscellaneous projects that showcase more of what I do in the day to day. these projects, while well engineered, tested, iterated and designed, are my shorter time-frame projects for a more rapid solution to an issue I came across.

My workflow for a few prior projects had the constant use of different pliers and tweezers, and as such, I quickly grew tired of either having to grab them out of a drawer, or have them all sprawled across my desk. So I designed a solution. A stand that keeps them all withing reach, on easily viewable display, and most importantly, out of the way when not needed.
For applications where higher torque or a more natural movement on the wrist is needed, this modified screwdriver design is built with an integrated lever arm to allow for a more intuitive, natural, and powerful grip to apply rotational torque. Especially beneficial for those with mobility limitations or in applications where the use of a screwdriver is a near constant aspect of the job, this design exists to help prevent the build up of wrist damage or mobility limitation development later on.
