Foam Tube Grip/Foam tubing- 8PCS (4 Sizes) Comfortable Aid for Utensils - No BPA/Phthalate/Latex

My occupational therapist provided me with a few of these and was delighted to find them on amazon to purchase. I crochet, write cards and letters and do crafts. I use the tubes to incase pens, coffee cup handles, crochet hooks, on the steering wheel to improve my grip, on my craft knifes, paint brushes and so many other places. They even can help open small lids on bottles. Getting ready to purchase more so I don't have to continually change from pen to pencil or paint brush to brush. Great for eating utensils. They are too small for my walker handles so I use pool noodles for that. Great for people with grip issues, athirst, Parkinson's. Highly recommend. Excellent quality product.

Works great! Helps those with hand and and grip problems to hold spoons and such much easier

The concept is fine, but trimming the very long length to fit is difficult, especially with hand impairment. None of the various diameter holes in the set of tubes are not small enough for my fine paint brushes, for which I bought them. That said, they have been useful for some of my husband's tools to give a cool grip, or to replace handles on worn equipment. They are useful for some applications, but not so for small items.

Love these! Unfortunately, I had a little stroke event in January and these came in so handy! My hands were already weak, but after the stroke event, it was extremely hard for me to hold my utensils, pens and my toothbrushes. It’s a little difficult to get it around my utensils because unfortunately, my utensils have a wide area in the middle of the utensils, but they were perfect for my pens, toothbrush, and floss stick. They fit easily and they’re very soft to hold and have lasted a long time even after they get wet.

The problem I have is that the set of tubes has only one tube per size. My toothbrush is much easier to hold, but that's about it.

I bought these foam tubes due to arthritis in my hands. I try to knit, crochet or craft as much as possible for physical therapy. These work perfectly on my crochet hook, and the largest one actually fits on my thumb to protect it better than my glovers or finger foam sleeves!!

I buy these for a student with autism, who self stimulates "stims" by hitting his hand with various objects. These are perfect for him! He likes the blue one the best, but we switch to the green one when he is becoming agitated for a "harder" more intense sensation. The holes are different diameters which affect the density of the tube and provide different levels of sensory satisfaction. I highly recommend these for stimmers who drum or clap for sensory input. These are very sturdy and last him until he loses it or accidentally throws it away. I order a out once every 2-3 years.

I needed to build up pencils, pens and paintbrushes. The smallest tube was too big for pencils. The smallest tube was too small for pens; the next size was too big for pens. None of the tubes worked for paintbrushes. Returning.
