I re-imagined how a professional cordless screwdriver could serve better in real-world, demanding environments. Leveraging existing components from the Fiskars Pro line, the project focuses on three pillars: portability, durability and intuitive usability.
Durability
Built to last – not replace
Portability
Always by your side
Usability
Works the way you do
Durability
Professionals expect tools that last — not just for weeks but years. The rugged housing, reinforced materials and smart battery-swap system are engineered for longevity and uninterrupted workflow.
Portability
Many professional tasks require moving fast, changing locations, climbing ladders, working overhead — the tool needs to follow. The compact footprint and integrated carry/hang strap system ensures the Pro Mini is always within reach.
Usability
From quick battery changes to being hung or clipped via the integrated carabiner, the Pro Mini is built to adapt to whole-day jobs, offering seamless integration into the professional’s toolkit.
Key Features & Benefits
The primary user for the Pro Mini is the working tradesperson, technician or field engineer who moves fast, works across varied environments and demands a tool with portability without sacrificing performance.
Whether installing cabinetry in a tight space, wiring control panels at height, or doing repeated fixings during an installation call-out — this tool is built to follow the workflow, not slow it down.

Refining Through Prototyping
Rapid mockups, 3D prints, and taped-together internals helped evaluate what CAD can’t:
Grip. Reach. Balance. Movement.
