Creative Design Prototype: Durable

We should aim at something lightweight. The lighter the tool will be the better for the elderly. We could use an aluminum skeleton, being both lightweight and to prevent rust. Also the plastic handles should be strong and made out of a non-slipping material. A day in the garden can be quite hot and sweating on the hands is a very common thing.. We don't want the secateur to be slipping out of hands. We have to remember that the elderly tend to have trembling hands and it is much more easier to slip.
