D+V HAND TOOL
This is a tool designed for the needs of SCAD Students at the Gulfstream Center for Design. Merging what already exists with future technologies, the team has created an innovative tool to replace the dremel, for use in sanding, cutting, and drilling small detailed projects.

77% of students interviewed said that the dremel tool is the most comonly used.
50% of dremel users experienced problems with the tool.
