Reflection:
-
The Spallen Wrench was designed to be ergonomic and still be a functional tool. This is achieved with the types of material used and the different designs of the handle. The handle at first was a cylinder, still function, but it didn't meet to expectations of being ergonomic. I decided to change the design of the handle to be more ergonomic for the hand by filleting and cutting the design. As a result, the handle is way more functional and not too big to handle. It experiences no hinders from that design. The 3mm Allen Key is a standard part and is very ergonomic by itself. The Spanner Wrench on the other hand is very smooth and has no sharp edges to its design. This allows for it to be safe for users and the guitar.
Improvements:
-
The Spallen Wrench can support a thread system for part, thus allowing for more reliability and support while using it for heavy duty projects other than guitar. Another improvement for non-guitar projects is adding teeth to the Spanner Wrench. This would allow for more parts to be tightened other than a washer on the guitar, relying on not much tightness. Other than these ideas, the Spallen Wrench meets requirements and ergonomically helps to user for fixing and tuning up guitars. Guitars can not have much stress on the parts incorporated to the design, so the Spallen Wrench makes a perfect addition to the users tool box.
