The second TUV study confirms that the Link Tool system reduces stress on the skeletal system normally associated with hand tools.
This means that anyone who makes a minor repair or who works daily at repetitive tasks involving the use of hand tools is less likely to open themselves to physical stress if they use the Link Tool system.
Professional mechanics who have participated in the study, as well as those who previously experienced chronic pain, indicated that they, too, have felt dramatic relief.
"It stands to reason that workers who are pain free are able to cope with more varied jobs," said John Davidson, President of Link Tools.
"Feedback from many of the individuals involved in this on-the-job, independent study report significant improvement in terms of reducing bodily stress".
"No other hand tools can make that statement." Davidson added.
