Grip Hooks! Not just for professional weight lifters….
The hook is what holds the object (e.g., bucket, pail, beehive, anything with a handle), thus reducing the amount of grip strength needed to lift. Among the device’s potential benefits are less pressure on the palm, wrist kept steady so less rotation, no blisters/chaffing, and non-slip coating that minimizes injury/prevents sweating. There are many brands and a few designs to pick from.
