Turning Knob Operator

Turns knobs, faucets, valves and keys

People with hand disabilities will benefit from this turning device. Can be used in a work or home environment. It will work on any non-round control knob or appliance handle. When the turner is pushed onto a knob, the pins in contact with the knob's surface retract, while the remaining pins surround the knob for a secure grip. Measures 2 1/4" (57 mm) in diameter but will grip larger irregular-shaped knobs. The T-shaped handle, 5 1/4" (133 mm) long, is ergonomically sized and shaped for ease of operation.
