Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Adjustable finger rings with space for weights and a loop for tying

Stainless steel utensils feature lightweight, built-up plastic handles to aid those who have arthritis or a weak grasp. Adjustable rings on the handles give support against individual fingers for maximum comfort and grip, and they are removable. The handles are hollow so that non-toxic weight can be added when necessary (Maddaplas Putty, cat. no. H70935-0003 is recommended). A loop on the handle can be used to tie the handle to the wrist. Dishwasher safe.
