Tap turner

A tap turner is a device that makes gripping and turning handles, knobs, and switches easier. It is designed to help people with weak grip, arthritis, or a limb difference to turn taps, which can be difficult to turn without assistance. The use of tap turners can make a practical difference in everyday life for disabled people with a condition that impacts their hands or fingers.
