AXIS
Rotating Power Drill
Axis is a rotating hand drill designed to distribute vibration between both hands, instead of concentrating it in one. Helping reduce injuries and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
When the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, people can experience numbness and weakness in their hands and fingers making it harder for them to properly completing manual tasks.
Power tools are a known trigger for carpal tunnel.
“It’s not really the weight — it’s the grip. The vibration is brutal. Even five minutes in and my hand goes numb.”
“One of my co-workers cut off two fingers with a rotary tool... She still can’t use her hand the same way.”
“Thin grips like an Apple Pencil are the hardest. My thumb tingles after just a little while.”
Rotate
Axis rotates to align with the user’s grip supporting multiple ways of use. Encouraging two handed use distributes vibration away from the wrist, reducing fatigue and long term injury.
