Its ergonomic design keeps your wrist in a neutral position so you have more power and more strength for gardening. The unique curvature and contour of the grip encourages a safer, natural, wrist-neutral approach to gardening. People with conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome often find this grip greatly increases their enjoyment of gardening.
