The Surveyor long tape is a measuring tool designed for professionals such as builders, surveyors and groundsmen; and a very good representation of Hyphen's skills, combining applied ergonomics, intuitive interaction and function, appropriate styling and very high quality engineering.
Fisco Tools Ltd, now part of the Hultafors Group, approached Hyphen to take a collection of observational ergonomics research data and videos and create the perfect long tape measure.
In the course of the development process Hyphen generated a number of innovative and patentable features, culminating in three new patents for Fisco, that give them important and unique selling points over and above the competition.
Many mechanical and ergonomic rigs and prototypes were built along the way, to ensure reliability, durability, ease of use and comfort.
