Angle Grinder

This project involved redesigning an existing power tool with a focus on identifying opportunities through research, conceptualizing solutions, testing them and making a unique design contribution.

The problem of inadequate control and grip was identified in the research stage. Concepts were created, followed by a testing phase where ideas were proven through ergonomic models. A preliminary form model was created in foam. After further iterations and refinement a final weighted wooden model was created and the product branded to fit a current product line.
