Door Knob Pinch Gripping

[bowermdw@yahoo.com]

At the daycare they have a rubber globe to cover the door knobs. It has to be squeezed on the sides to be able to turn the door knob. It keeps the kids from getting out. The first time I squeezed it was painful, and there was not much strength in it.

I have since been working with a tennis ball and raquet ball to strengthen this grip.

Would a hub from IM be similar, and strengthen this grip by lifting up?

It's not the same as rotating while pinching though.

Are there any other ways to strengthen this grip?

I was thinking of a making machine that can be weighted and that simulates opening a door knob while pinching.

Thanks.

Iron mind do a "Twist Yo' Wrist" which you could use to train you door knob turnability!

I have created my new Door Knob Tool. Check it out! I hope I put the link right. If not its in my Pics album.

It is basically a post bracket attached to a thin heavy wood panel. The bracket is made of aluminum. It has really good balance. I envisioned it pivoting on a pole with weights, but for now it is a trial tool.

With the pipe threads in the center I think I could screw on different attachments when I dream them up.

Let me know what you think.

Looks interesting. Kind of the same principle as sledge levering, but with a different grip.
