Remanufacturing is a circular strategy increasingly adopted by more and more manufacturing companies. However, the remanufacturingsuitability of products may differ. This paper aims to develop a method of assessing the suitability of products to be remanufactured. This researchused a case study approach with interviews and observations at a case company supported by the research literature. The suitability assessmenthas been applied to a handheld battery-driven assembly tool based on factors acting as barriers or enablers for remanufacturing. The assessmentis suggested to consist of two parts: a product type assessment with factors such as scale of sale, market, and reverse logistics, and a productdesign assessment with factors connected to product design and the remanufacturing process steps. For handheld battery-driven assembly tools,at the case company, the most critical barriers are their large number of variants in combination with the small scale of sale for each variant.These barriers can be avoided by introducing upgradability, standardization, and modularity in future product designs, thus enhancing theirremanufacturability. The most significant remanufacturability enabler is to design for service and repair.
