A well designed handle can make a tool a joy to use, and greatly
enhance an operator’s efficiency in performing a task. In addition,
a hex tool handle should be designed to protect its blade, and the
fasteners it drives, from wear and breakage.
Bondhus® handles are designed by people who know, understand, and use
tools for a living. Good handle design doesn’t just happen; it’s the
outcome of experience and refinement performed by dedicated people
who care about their customers.

Bondhus® advantages:
- Handles ergonomically designed greatly reduces fatigue and the
pain associated with poorly designed handles.
- Handle cushioning increases comfort and reduces fatigue.
- A non-slip surface contributes to good grip, and also reduces the
potential for skinned knuckles due to slippage.

- Operator strength is a major consideration in handle
design because handles need to accommodate a range of
strengths.
- Handles are large enough to easily and comfortably generate needed torque,
yet small enough to help prevent accidental over-torqueing that could damage
the blade or tip
- Blade torque must be accurately established for every blade, and
be consistently maintained in the manufacturing process.
Discrepancies in torque could yield unpredictable
performance.
- Too much handle torque risks breaking the blade, and too
little torque creates needless fatigue. Bondhus always errs on the
side of protecting the blade.

- Screwdriver blades pose challenges not associated with other
handle types:
- Screwdriver handle shape must be considered in determining
the torque capacity of a handle. For example, a completely
round handle would have less torque capacity than a rectangular
shaped handle.
- The screwdriver handle grip needs to be taken into account
when designing a screwdriver handle.
- A completely smooth
surface does not have the same grip as a textured surface, and
will result in a different torque capacity.
