ABOUT HONSA TOOLS
Excessive vibration in power tools has been identified
as a contributor to various cumulative trauma disorders. Since the
creation of the pneumatic tool in 1890 little has been done to change
the dynamic effect and vibration control of many pneumatic tools.
These generic tools, re-manufactured over time by countless
companies have done little to reverse the damaging effects of high
vibration generating tools.
However, in 1985, the founders of Honsa Ergonomic
Technologies, Inc. Dr. Thomas S. and Thomas W. Honsa began the design
of a new vibration and sound isolation system for pneumatic and
electric powered tools. Their knowledge of polyurethane elastomers
and design engineering created the first in many unique patented
vibration and sound reduced products.
As of 2004, Honsa Ergonomic Technologies, Inc. is
still the only company in the world to exclusively manufacture vibration
reduced pneumatic powered tools. Honsa Tools continues to innovate
and create safer vibration and sound reduced pneumatic tools and
ergonomically focused products and services
Honsa Tools are used in a wide variety of manufacturing
industries. For example, Aerospace, Metal Fabrication, Automotive
Assembly, Shipbuilding and repair, Agricultural Equipment, Construction
Equipment, Foundries, Engine and Transmission Assembly. In addition,
the US Military also uses Honsa Tools to reduce injuries in maintenance,
repair and refit applications.
Companies which use Honsa Tools have one thing in
common. They have the vision of creating a safer work environment.
These companies recognize the importance of reduced injuries and
lower worker compensation claims. By focusing on and implementing
an ergonomic program which includes 21st century technology they
will reduce costs, increase productivity, improve employee relations
and foster an environment of long term increased corporate profitability.
