Smart Design for a Handheld Trenching Tool
An Australian company, ArborTech, has developed a portable, powered trenching tool called AllSaw, designed to make digging trenches by hand easier and safer. The tool uses two U-shaped blades that move in an alternating motion to eliminate kickback and reduce strain on workers. Instead of using its own battery system, ArborTech partnered with DeWalt to use their FlexVolt batteries, making the tool more convenient for contractors who already use DeWalt equipment. This innovation addresses the challenges of digging in hard-to-reach areas where traditional trenching machines cannot be used.
ArborTech created a handheld trenching tool with two U-shaped blades that reduce kickback and make digging easier.
The tool improves efficiency and safety for workers in hard-to-reach areas where traditional machines can't be used.
It shows how thoughtful design can solve practical problems, benefiting both workers and the communities they serve.
