Of the dozen or so products I designed with Black & Decker, this was one of the more challenging. It’s asymmetrical form and T-handle ergonomics made it a more complex design problem than typical “clamshell” based tools, and it had to be designed for all kinds of different retail scenarios. Looking back at this stuff makes me want to go design power tools again! :)
