Plus+ Screwdriver

Plus+ Screwdriver is an innovative modular hand tool design that revolutionizes the traditional approach to screwdriver functionality and storage. This sophisticated tool system features interchangeable sections equipped with various tool bits, allowing users to modify its total length through plus and minus combinations to adapt to diverse spatial requirements. The design's distinctive characteristics include an intuitive tool holder mechanism that facilitates easy insertion and removal of bits, complemented by an ergonomically optimized grip that enhances user comfort and control. A notable feature is the implementation of striking visual symbols on tool bits, enabling quick and intuitive identification. The design, which garnered recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Hardware, Power and Hand Tools Design category, addresses common challenges in tool organization and accessibility while promoting sustainable practices through its modular approach. Developed through extensive research and prototyping at the Industrial Design College in LAFA, the screwdriver's dimensions of 30mm x 30mm x 60mm per unit make it remarkably compact. The design employs rubber injection molding technology in its production, ensuring durability and optimal tactile feedback. This innovative approach to tool design not only solves practical storage and identification issues but also encourages systematic tool organization and reduces resource waste through its modular purchasing and assembly system, ultimately fostering long-term user engagement and environmental consciousness.
