Ergonomics at Fiskars® is a long-standing tradition. For years Fiskars has combined the science of ergonomics with the art of industrial design. The need for ergonomic designing is continuous. Both at home and at their jobs, people work - backs bent - their well-being threatened by impending back problems. When cutting, the weight of the tool and the poor working position of the hand and fingers cause static tension, resulting in muscle strain and chaffing of the fingers. Ergonomics is an important consideration in the pragmatic approach that Olavi Lindén, chief designer at Fiskars Consumer Oy, has to designing.

GARDEN TOOLS:

FISKARS® Garden Tools are ideal for a range of garden applications including planting, cultivating, weeding and transplanting, and they can be used both indoors and out. The PowerGear® Advantage tool's unique gear design maximizes leverage to reduce cutting effort, and the rotating handle minimizes strain and fatigue, especially during extended use. Power-Lever® technology increases cutting power by 35%. The PowerGrip® is a technical ergonomic term to describe the ideal size and shape. Users can safely control the tool without the need to squeeze the grip tightly. Patented, ergonomic handle reduces strain, adds comfort, and protects your hand.
