I am in the final year of a technology education degree course, part of
which involves designing a product and manufacturing it to prototype stage.
The product has to be original, or better designed, than any similar product
on the market. I am posting this message to a number of newsgroups in the
hope that someone will have a problem with a product they use, or can't find
a product to suit their requirements in the market place. I would appreciate
any (sensible) suggestions.

If you are designing anything for the garden with a long handle, please
make the handle longer that would be required for a dwarf!!! I am fed up
with having to bend over shears, power hoses, lawn edgers, spades. Not
doing my back any good at all ((
