April's Intermat Show in Paris Saw Mtg Receive a Bronze Medal in the show's Innovation Awards for its MTGtwist, a hammerless tooth-adapter retainer solution.

MTGtwist does not need a hammer; the operator just twists the pin using the removal tool to change the tooth. According to the company there are several advantages to this method, including increased safety - no hammer is required, a reduction of time and costs during assembly/disassembly - only one operator is needed, it avoids pin losses and offers excellent retention, extra durability and a longer pin life.
