Handy for hands!

I've discovered something that helps me to grip pencils, paintbrushes, cutlery etc.
Very handy for arthritic, painful fingers.



It's a foam bendy coat hanger! Remove the end and take out the wire, cut to required length and insert utensil!
You can also use pipe insulation for larger items!

I can't work out what you mean Tess ...honest I can't. What bit do you grip with?

All I can see is a little pink dumbell that hamsters or other small creatures might like to get fit with

Re: Handy for hands!

The long blue thing is a bendy foam coathanger, with the hook removed.
The pink (hamster dumbell) is a section of a coathanger, with the ends and wire (inside which makes it bendable) removed and cut into a small piece about 3" long into which there is, in the photo, a pen inserted in the hole left by the wire..
You can then grip the pen easier, (by the pink bit,) if you have stiff fingers which don't bend easily.
You can use it for pencils, paintbrushes, spoons etc.
It's neither too soft nor too hard, very comfy.
I hope that makes it clearer for you.

Would not work for me TessA, ive lost all feeling in my fingertips and most of my hands, but hopefully a solution for some.

That's a good idea, TessA.
