I want to win the lottery. I don't want much
a million will do.

i don't have alink for these because an OT provided them for me but i was having trouble holding vegetables etc to peel and cut up. She provided me with a chopping board that has suction cups to hold in place and the top has an adjustable clamp to hold larger items in place and a series of movable stakes that you can impale items on to hold them still to cut.
She also gave me a set of kitchen knives where the hand grip is at right angles to the blade so that it takes less effort to use- if i can find a link or picture i will post them!
thanks for the other hand gizmos too

I bought these, they didn't work well at all and left the potatoes rough. I even found the gloves harder to use than a potato peeler.

LOL, I have a steadfast rule, if it's "seen on TV" avoid it like the plague!!

But, why is this thread worthless without pics? We all have access to Google and it's how most of us discover these things.

Thanks, Cin! My fingers and hands are getting progressively worse, and these suggestions will definitely help!

Hi, Jan! I'm so happy to see you here!! Yep, my hands have been revolting against me for years now and it's just getting worse all the time. I have developed quite an arsenal around the house. It's cool that there are so many things out there to give us a hand.

I did find one on line that explains how it works.
