Airbow
For: ThoughtFulll Design
Client: Hammerforce
2019
Airbow® is an untethered air-powered nail gun. It doesn’t require combustion systems, electronics, batteries or cords and butane fuel cells, meaning it is powerful yet quiet 

All weather and using only compressed air, it better for both the builder and the environment
Approach
From early in its inception, ThoughtFull worked closely with the Hammerforce/Airbow team and their customers across a number of projects.

The work we did directly shaped the design of multiple aspects of their business from industrial and service design, pricing strategy to brand development and product positioning.
