Description
The General Purpose gripping aid is essential for a wide range of tasks – at home, in the gym or in daily life. Whether you’ve had a stroke, suffered a spinal injury or have any condition which reduces your hand function. Our aids could unlock any number of activities for you.
If you are finding these a bit beyond your budget, why not take a look at our fully functional factory seconds? Our new starter made a few that weren’t quite up to our strict standards but will work just fine. Limited sizes available.
Durable and versatile
- Working out in the gym (e.g. holding free weights, using a rowing machine)
- DIY at home (using a saw or hammer)
- Holding a pool or snooker cue
- Rowing or Kayaking
- Gardening
- Holding a glass or bottle
“My Aid is still being used daily, at 5 years running, by me and I’m still putting it through hell. Still using it for shovelling snow, gas weed whipping, and even chain sawing (though very carefully), it’s smudged and sometimes is dirty, but it still keeps going. Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for the best products.”
Dave Genik
How does the General Purpose gripping aid work?
The gripping aids function by tightening the strap in the upper section, which gently pulls the hand into a fist shape, adjusting to hold items in the palm. The wrist strap is also adjustable and the aid is padded to reduce chafing. Our video contains instructions on how to put the aids on, or you can download our General Purpose instructions.
Which size General Purpose gripping Aid should I buy?
Most adults find that our ‘Standard’ size fits them. However, gripping aids are also available in ‘Small’ (for adults with especially petite hands and children aged over five) and ‘Large’ sizes. For children aged under 5 please see our General Purpose ‘Mini‘ size. See the size guide tab above to find out which size is best for you.
If you have missing fingers or hand parts then please take a look at our Limb Difference aid as the General Purpose may not be suitable for you.
Made of Strong Stuff
Active Hands aids are both kind to the skin and made to last. The aids are built from tough webbing and comfortable but durable neoprene (wet suit material). They’re designed to withstand regular use, even for strenuous activities. All aids are machine washable.
” My name is Dan and I am a disabled veteran and I have been training with weights intensely for the last five years…The Active Hand Gloves have given me the opportunity to increase my endurance, strength, and range of motion…I have used your product and the gloves are easy to use and adjust quickly when I travel from one exercise machine to another. I look forward to receiving my new set of gloves and getting back to adaptive wheelchair sports competition in Power Soccer, 9 Ball Pool, Ramp Bowling, Field and Track Club Throwing, Epee Fencing, and BC3 Boccia. I appreciate your time and effort.”

Ideal for going to the gym and getting to “grip” with things again. A good buy.

Perfect for rowing, kayaking, holding dumbbells and much more.

These grips help me go to the gym and do upper body workouts, including lat pulldowns and the rowing machine, which I couldn’t do without them. They are going to help me get strong! Definitely a good purchase.
jj.aapl (verified owner) –
Great buy. Great product. Very durable! I got mine now. I’ve tried the others but this one exceeded my expectations, for a disabled(avm survivor) person like me. Happy to have one. Highly recommended!

Fantastic device for its uses. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you for making this.

Wonderful aid to help me grip workout equipment. Very well made! Very useful tool for a C5-C6 quadriplegic who tries to remain active.

I bought the glove as part of the crossfit I’ve been doing for 1 year. I bought it long after I’d started the sport, and I’m so happy to have discovered it (albeit belatedly)! It has changed my practice and I can finally lift heavy weights. I recommend it if, like me, you have wrist problems, it will help you in your sport. It’s also a real mental relief for me to have it. Thank you for creating this product.
J’ai acheté le gant dans le cadre du crossfit que je pratique depuis 1 an. Je l’ai acheté bien après avoir débuté le sport et je suis tellement heureuse de l’avoir découvert (tardivement quand même) ! Celui-ci a changé ma pratique et je peux enfin soulever des charges importantes. Je recommande si comme moi vous avez des problèmes à votre poignet, il vous aidera dans votre sport. C’est pour moi un vrai soulagement mental aussi de l’avoir. Merci d’avoir créé ce produit.

Review of General-Purpose Disability Glove
I love these gloves and have bought three of them. They are very helpful for me as a stroke survivor with only one working hand. The overhand wrap is easy to use because it is beveled. But the wrist wrap is not. It is wider than the slot where it goes. This might be good for some people, but for me and others like me, it is very hard to pull it through. Even the therapists agree. I must take the gloves to a tailor to trim back the tab to make them fit better and prevent them from fraying. The delivery and customer service are excellent. I don’t want to give up these gloves, but I really hope they can make the wrist wrap simpler for one-handed people.

The wrist strap is designed so that it doesn’t come all the way undone. This enables those with both hands affected to fasten the strap independently – a task that is much harder if the strap comes fully apart. The idea is that you loosen off the strap and slide your arm into it, rather than removing the wrist strap from the buckle.

Excellent speedy service. Very clever item, helping with home exercises as well as at the specialist gym. Well made and looks durable, came highly recommended by the gym professionals and other users.

Firstly I’d like to say the gloves are great. I use them on a daily basis.
I ordered a left and right glove about 10 months ago. After a few months the right glove failed. Active hands were great and immediately dispatched a replacement.
Last month the right hand glove failed again. I ordered a new one and thus far it has been fine.
I’m not sure if there has been a change of manufacturer or design but I would expect the glove to last longer than it did.

As people are lifting heavier weights, we are looking at uprating our products to keep up. We are also considering offering a stronger gripping aid for those who are lifting big weights.

As a user with Hemophilia Cerebral Palsy the equipment is fantastic. Their customer support team was able to assist and answer questions. The only negative I can say is large is larger than I estimated:)
Carlos Samaan (verified owner) –
I have being using them over 12 years ago
they are the best in the world

I’m partially paralyzed as the result of a stroke. I use this glove for exercise. It’s comfortable and there’s no way the weight is going to slip out of my grip with this on. I use its lighter weight version for regular daily use.
