Wonderful product!
Our patient is a quadriplegic with very limited used of his hands. While he is very limited, he takes pride is using his hands to grip his spoon to eat. He loves using these for his spoon and his toothbrush. The physician recently noticed him using them and remarked that she wants to recommend the product to her other patients. We now have these on our subscribe and save.

Poor design; doesn't work for me
I bought these to make it easier and more comfortable for my arthritic hands to cook, eat, and hold writing implements or tools. The idea is great, but the execution - not so much. The handles are sturdy, but they are heavy, the openings in them are inflexible and inconveniently sized, and and I find them awkward and uncomfortable to hold and use. When I first picked up the handle I liked the futuristic look and that it fit nicely into my hand, and it seemed flexible - but it turned out that a lack of flexibility is a major problem with these handles. The openings on either side of the handle are almost rigid, and would accommodate very few of my wide variety of mismatched cutlery items. The slotted end is narrow and wide, so every fork or spoon I had slipped right out, and nearly all of my knives were too big. I managed to find a single "Goldilocks" butter knife of the perfect rectangular shape and thinness to fit the handle. The X-shaped end is huge for most cutlery, but I managed to get it around one fork with a particularly big round handle and one skinny wooden spoon. You can get it to fit a pencil, but you have to shove the pencil all the way into the handle for it to be stable enough to write with, and you'd have to be pretty creative to figure out how to use it that way, especially with challenged hands. The worst though about the handle for me was it's bulk and shape. I have difficulty closing my hands down over small handles, gripping and maintaining the grasp, and not straining my thumbs. I wear a women's size medium glove. Eating with the only fork that fit into this handle was just a different kind of painful than I'm used to, as I had to open my hand up extra-wide to get around it. The hourglass shape made it impossible to hold the fork in a natural or comfortable position, and my fingers tended to slide down the ribs. I eventually ate by holding the fork in my fist, which wound up straining my wrist. I tried a number of different ways of using the handle, but never found a solution that worked. Perhaps someone with large hands or someone needing a handle to help with shaking or stability issues might have more success than I did with this product. I had much better results using cut-to-fit foam tubing over my kitchen and tool handles. The tubing assortments came with a variety of inside diameters and were more flexible, so they fit many more handles. The tubes are straight and smaller, smooth, and a little bit squishy so they're comfortable to hold. I wound up having to buy two different sets to get the diameters I wanted, and am annoyed at spending so much for foam, but I can eat and work more comfortably with them than I have in years.

Good idea, with drawbacks and limitations
I was kind of shocked when I first took these out of the package--they're like heavy, oversized bike handlebar grips. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that sometimes my rheumatoid arthritis gets so painful, I can't hold a fork, or a pen, or anything that requires me to bend my fingers much. So rather than invest in big, specially-made eating utensils that would take up too much room in my silverware drawer, I decided to try these first. They're large and cumbersome, and take some getting used to, not unlike getting used to having hands that no longer work like they're supposed to. But if your utensils are the right size and shape, these actually work fairly well. Depending on the extent of your impairment, you might have to ask someone else to insert the utensils into the grips; the video (which is VERY helpful!) makes it look like a piece of cake, but it's trickier than you might think, if your hands don't work well. If your silverware has thick or short handles, these grips aren't going to work--I find my forks and tablespoons fit perfectly, my knife handles are almost too thick but will go into the grip when my husband forces one in, but the teaspoon handles are just too short for me to use in the grip. These may not be as bulky as silverware with the fat handles built-in, but they're still quite large and 4 of them do take up a lot of space in a drawer or on a shelf; I also find them too bulky and heavy to carry in my purse or use when eating out. In fact, on days when I'm having a great deal of pain, the weight makes them too difficult to use at all. They are definitely better than asking someone to cut your food or feed you, but I think I'm going to try foam tubing or some other smaller, lighter-weight alternative to provide the extra-thick grip I need for my silverware. Still, I'm keeping these, because I think they'll work more effectively with toothbrushes and other tools I haven't yet tried them with.

Cheaper than a whole new silverware set and way more versatile!
We purchased these for my father, who is in his 80's and has lost a lot of the feeling in his fingers. He spent his life as a farmer, so his hands are large and calloused, with some arthritis pain. These grips have given him back his confidence to eat in public! He either brings them along and puts them on the restaurant's silverware or (most frequently) brings his own silverware already in the grips. When using the grips, he no longer drops his silverware and can order anything off of the menu again.Plus, it's great to see him be able to talk and smile when eating out, rather than being worried the whole time or avoiding going out entirely. I wasn't sure if he would use them at all, but he's really embraced it. He's stubborn when it comes to getting help, so that speaks for the product for sure. Our only concern is that it can sometimes be difficult to get the silverware in and out of the grips. This is a problem especially if one has limited arm or hand mobility and strength. However, that only subtracts one star. Great, inexpensive product to try! *Note: My dad also has a spoon with a built in grip on it. He prefers these transferable grips largely over the spoon, due to being able to pick whatever size/shape utensil you need. Also, these seem easier to clean.
