AN ERGONOMIC HANDLE

AN ERGONOMIC HANDLE

Active work with rakes, hoes, shovels, snow scrapers, and all other garden tools with handles of uniform diameter throughout their length is associated with excessive strain on the fingers. In youth, one doesn’t pay attention to such trifles, but with age, the number of rest breaks somehow increases… To reduce hand strain, I attached handle-like thickenings to the tool handles. I used plastic and aluminum rings selected to match the diameter. I gave them a half-torus cross-sectional shape. I fixed one ring at the end of the handle, the other – closer to the middle, adjusting to my height.
