Modified Tools Help "Beat" Arthritis MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Handicapped Equipment 31-5-29 Bill Reeks has been fighting a battle against arthritis for the past few years. So far, he's winning thanks to a lot of modifications he's made to tools and equipment around his Cromwell, Ky., farm.
For example, he added extended handles to a pair of hand shears for trimming grass around trees and buildings. He simply attached a length of metal tubing to the upper handle and attached a piece of steel wire to the lower handle. A handle on the upper end lets him operate the shears from a standing position. The spring on the shears opens them back up after each cut.
He also added an extended handle to a dust pan for cleaning up his shop.
