AirShirz® Testimonials
An Ergonomic Solution to Hand Stress
“We would use three sometimes four workers at our cutting table using standard hand held Wiss scissors. Now with one pair of AirShiz, we can do the same job with one worker.”
Southwest Fiberglass; Robert Yoho, VP / General Manager
Fiberglass parts manufacturer • Tucson, AZ
“With the AirShiz virtually anyone can do the job instantly. For us the AirShiz is an equalizer, it opens up work stations that previously could only be manned by a select few.”
Cat Dancer Products; Jim Boelke, President
Pet toy manufacturer • Neenah, WI
“ We cut materials every day using hand-held, scissors-type shears and side cutters. With today’s concerns for ergonomical solutions to repetitious jobs, the AirShiz has improved our processes as well as the product quality, and has made a repetitious and fatiguing chore a much nicer job.”
Sweepster, Inc.; Kevin Elliott, Process Engineer
Commercial/Industrial manufacturer of brushes • Dexter, MI
