Also part of the presentation would have been the ballpoint tools of world renown by BONDHUS and OLFA professional cutters. A well rounded exhibition of innovations perfectly combined for a professional’s hard working day.

Unfazed, the clever innovators from Felo have already found other ways to spread the news. Here is what they would have revealed in Cologne.

Innovative tools equipped with the patented ERGONIC handle are at the center of the FELO-presentation.

Due to flexible cells embedded in the ERGONIC handle, hand and handle interlock, reducing the physical strain and increasing work comfort, resulting in higher maximum torque and extended fatigue-free work.

In addition to the Felo innovations the tool program of BONDHUS, the pioneer in ballpoint keys would have been? shown. FELO is the exclusive distribution partner in Germany of the US-based company, who’s hex tools are set apart by unsurpassed precision and strength. Felo also exclusively distributes OLFA cutting knives which strike the perfect balance between sharpness and longevity.

ERGONIC K – Ratchet, svivel-screwdriver and ERGONIC handle

For the first time Felo has combined ERGONIC comfort with the functionality of a ¼” ratchet and a swivel-screwdriver. The high-performance ratchet of ERGONIC K operates on a pivoting range of 180° and helps to reach screws in tight spaces and makes work in uncomfortable angles easier. No need for tool removal for changing from straight to angled operation. Robust (50Nm) and precise (60 teeth) ratcheting mechanism for speedy, efficient and highly comfortable work.

Perfection refined: E-Smart slim

Electricians are required to work safely, precisely and fast. Protection against electrocution is of the utmost importance. E-Smart, one of the most popular FELO tools, has now been further refined to reach countersunk screws (for example in switchboard cabinets) that often cannot be reached with conventional VDE screwdrivers. The insulation of the E-Smart slim blades is up to 50% slimmer than on conventional VDE screwdrivers, putting all countersunk screws into reach. Inserted into the E-Smart slim handle with automatic locking mechanism and quick release button, each of the 10 IEC blades turns into a professional VDE-screwdriver. With precision cap attached the blades double as low torque fine tuning tools. Handle and blades are certified according DIN IEC 60900, all blades getting individually tested with 10,000 volts. Stored in the robust strongbox or in the compact roll-up pouch E-Smart slim is the ideal screwdriver set for electricians.

Strong, comfortable and easy on the joints – Series 450 chisel-screwdriver with ERGONIC handle

Felo series 450 chisel drivers with full-length blade, hexagon bolster and hammer cap are equipped with handles providing a unique vibration absorbing effect.

The chisel driver blade is enclosed by patented and sensationally ergonomic 3-component handle consisting of a hard plastic core and flexible cushions embedded in non-slip elastomer coating.

These cushions act as vibration absorbers when the tool is used as a chisel, protecting muscles and joints.

The geometry of the tips for slotted screws has been improved to provide better hold inside the screw and increased torque.

Perfect ergonomics and increased efficiency »made by Felo«.
