“My Aid is still being used daily, at 5 years running, by me and I’m still putting it through hell. Still using it for shovelling snow, gas weed whipping, and even chain sawing (though very carefully), it’s smudged and sometimes is dirty, but it still keeps going. Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for the best products.”
Dave Genik

The gripping aids function by tightening the strap in the upper section, which gently pulls the hand into a fist shape, adjusting to hold items in the palm. The wrist strap is also adjustable, and the aid is padded to reduce chafing. The video contains instructions on how to put the aids on.
-
Available in ‘Small’ (for adults with especially petite hands and children aged over five).
Made of Strong Stuff
Active Hands aids are both kind to the skin and made to last. The aids are built from tough webbing and comfortable but durable neoprene (wet suit material). They’re designed to withstand regular use, even for strenuous activities. All aids are machine washable.
