Hi I am an anthropology student and I am curious about the labour and human relation involved in the production of injection molded plastic products.

[@bodbn]

The machine owns the operator. The operator is a slave to the machine. When the machine beeps the operator must tend to it and care for it.

Wrong information

[@matthewaquila]

"STRONG AND DURABLE". Calling BS

[@csonracsonra9962]

What are the comment section is okay for people that are not that intelligent but you can inject glass reinforced polymers like abs which Hilti tools are made from I'm willing to bet that you can't even afford one of those much less break one

[@csonracsonra9962]

In fact I work at a place that makes the handles for Snap-on screwdrivers and I would say that they are strong and durable
