Portable and adapted handle that enlarges and therefore makes it easier for a person with impaired hand function to twist/open/close various types of lock and stove knobs.

Description
This assistive device makes it easier to manipulate a handle, lock or stove knob. The grip becomes larger, which means less force is needed to open, close, or twist. The universal knob is designed to fit various shapes and sizes of knob or handle. The small points shape and adapt to the object to be handled.

This model is called “Stift”.
