Designers: Dean Rock

Description:

The Forefinger Gripper Hand is a variation on the Snap Talon group of designs. It differs by providing a rigid forefinger in opposition to the elastic closure of the thumb. This enables a very functional "passive" closure grip and an augmented grip with three closing fingers for items such as a broom handle. The thumb strap holds a pen or other small item as well.

It attaches with the standard 1/2"FT bolt to any gauntlet designed for that setup.

The thumb is slightly longer than the finger at the closure point. This allows one-handed operation to open by pushing the thumb tip against an opposing surface. The fingers can be used by elbow-, wrist- (coming soon), or e-arm activation.
