This design helps prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and hand fatigue, allowing for more relaxed, comfortable working posture.

4. Is the handle design truly ergonomic?
Yes. The Pre Style Relax Thinner features an offset handle design where the thumb ring is positioned higher than the finger ring . This ergonomic configuration:

• Promotes a natural, relaxed hand position

• Helps prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome

• Includes removable finger rest for added stability

6. How do the 28 teeth affect thinning results?
The 28 micro-serrated teeth provide:

The VARIO screw is a flat, flush-mounted adjustment screw that allows for precise tension control without specialized tools :
