The Design

About Plus+ Tournevis

Plus+ est un tournevis modulaire conçu pour un rangement compact et une sélection rapide de l'outil. Chaque section accueille un embout différent. Les sections peuvent être ajoutées ou retirées pour modifier la longueur totale, de sorte que Plus+ s'adapte à différents espaces de travail et reste facile à transporter. Le porte-outil permet d'insérer et de retirer les embouts rapidement, et la poignée est agréable à tenir. Un symbole clair sur chaque embout permet de reconnaître aisément la tête appropriée. Le corps est mis en forme par injection de caoutchouc. Les unités modulaires réduisent l'espace de rangement et le gaspillage de ressources.
