Hallo,
auch dieser kurze Satz ist eine Überschrift aus dem überarbeiteten Prospekt für Spannwerkzeuge, den ich gerade übersetze: "Lösungen auf den Punkt gebracht". Ich überlege schon wirklich lange daran herum. Mein bisheriges Ergebnis: "Solutions put straight" / "Solutions on the dot". Nicht sehr einfallsreich.
Wer hat eine zündende Idee?
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!

Gripping solutions
Spannwerkzeuge are gripping tools, but 'gripping' also means 'fesselnd' bzw. 'spannend' (think of 'a gripping tale of love and betrayal' etc.) , so there's the wordplay
