The Panel

We met a few times in person, went back and forth in emails, and then the team even made a trip out to my office in Long Beach during the process. First we started by reviewing tool idea renderings on paper, the next time we met we were able to see plastic prototypes, the next time some of the tools were actually functional. All along myself and the other talented makers kept giving the Fiskars team our feedback on the look, the features, and how we would use the tools. It was an absolute pleasure to be on their panel and experience the discussion amongst the other members as many times we agreed and many times we didn’t.

The Line

The new line is exceptional to say the least, and while I might be biased, it’s the honest truth. The tools fall between what you’ll find in the craft store and what you’ll find in the hardware store. They’re more robust than your average craft tools and more compact than garage tools, with the same quality you can expect from Fiskars in both categories. They’ve been designed with ascetics in mind, boasting a gorgeous white and gray color scheme, with Softgrip touchpoint handles for comfort. Simply fabulous from every angle. I’m super excited to finally be able to have them in my possession and actually use them after such a long time in the making, but I think I’m more excited to see what everyone else in the maker community thinks about them!
