Walton’s Ergonomic File Handle Helps Reduce Cumulative Trauma Disorders
Walton Company’s Ergonomic File Handle is constructed so that its axis is better aligned with a person’s forearm. This will significantly reduce muscle fatigue as it allows the user to rotate his arm only slightly in order to change the angle of the file but still apply the necessary pressure to keep the file in contact with the workpiece.
The design of this tool incorporates the natural wrist angle of
approximately 35 degrees, fitting the tool to the worker. It has a comfortable non-slip grip and is available to fit 4” to 14” files.
Workers who use Walton’s Ergonomic File Handle are less likely to experience cumulative trauma disorders due to repetitive filing tasks. The result is better production, with less lost time.
