Abstract: An ergonomic die buffer comprises a load-bearing base having a central axis extending longitudinally through the midpoint of the load-bearing base. The load-bearing base also comprises a longitudinal axis that may be coaxial with the central axis of the load-bearing base or displaced therefrom. A neck portion is operatively connected to the base and a foot is connected to the neck portion. The neck comprises a central axis, such that the neck is connected to the base coaxially with the longitudinal axis. When the longitudinal axis is displaced from the central axis of the load-bearing base, there is greater contract between the topside surface area of the base and the associated die. The foot comprises at least one flat surface in order to provide greater surface contact between the topside of the base and an associated die. The die buffer may be secured to an associated die either by magnets or through a spring-loaded mechanism.
