Reviews

"CACHA'S book provides an excellent introduction to the basics of various disciplines that apply to hand tools. It is intended for safety professionals, but hand tool designers and ergonomics practitioners could also use it as a reference guide." -Ergonomics in design, Vol. 9, No. 3, Summer 2001 Promo Copy
