Plus+ is a modular screwdriver designed for compact storage and quick tool selection. Each section carries a different tool bit. Sections can be added or removed to change the total length, so Plus+ adapts to different working spaces and stays easy to carry. The tool holder lets bits be inserted and removed quickly, and the grip is comfortable to hold. A clear symbol on each bit makes the correct head simple to recognize. The body is shaped by rubber injection molding. The modular units reduce storage space and resource waste.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
- Project Duration
- The project started in December 2015 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in August 2017 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
