Would the red or green clips be better for someone with arthritis?

To answer your question I "test opened" each several times and I don't notice a difference in the strength of the hinge but more would be the distance you have to open each (the green would be used for higher loft batting and/or several layers of lower loft batting use). Honestly, I only use the green ones to hold freezer template pieces or fabric blocks together for transport to class! The red ones I use all the time for holding binding and mitered corners prior to stitching (2 1/2" binding, low loft Quilter's Dream cotton and 1/2 layer Hobb's wool batting. I also use Schamber's Elmer's Glue technique, so figure there is a layer of dried glue as well). They are stiffer than a clothespin and but not as stiff as a medium Accuclip for paper. I would suggest that you find a quilter or quilt shop that has one so you can try it - I know arthritis can make some things difficult. I hope this helps.

Hi BK,I don't use the neoprene corners since the rubber backing holds the seat in place pretty well. Not using them should give you some flexibility with the seat cover part. Yes - I think the clips are for the shoulder if you don't have a head rest. I tightened up the headrest straps as tight as I could, which also helps everything stay in place.Hope that helps!

I would think so. They are pretty lite. I have arthritic hands and I can manage them.

I would say no. The (green) ends are pliable, but not enough to bend around a knee.

No :( only ergo! But I've heard it's not super comfortable - ring sling is better for hip probably

Tammi, no I don't believe the grabber could help much in that department. It's horrible trying to find things to help when your mobility is impaired. Sorry!

I also have arthritis and it is a little difficult. I use a butter knife to open.

Buttons are Way harder than a cell phone. It does take light pressure to press the buttons. If your arthritis is fairly bad, It would be painful to push. It is just as easy to use yor knuckle to press the keypad. Maybe that would be less painful. I have Arthritis in the thumb, but my fingers are fine. If I had to push the buttons with my thumb when the pain is flairing, I would feel the twinge. Yes, there is a nag beep when done.

They are substantial and hold firmly which is beneficial, but they could possibly be hard for an arthritic person to use. I couldn't say for sure though.

I would imagine it would lessen the pain. The hand grips are comfortable and they move without effort.

I don't have arthritis in my hands, but in my opinion this vacuum is very easy to maneuver. I would think it would be easier than a standard vacuum for persons with arthritis.

I think it would be fine but of course this depends on the degree of arthritis.

The green are larger, and I think less versatile. The red ones are extremely easy to use and very versatile -- I've even used them in a pinch, when I don't have a paper clip, or they're great to clip pieces of fabric together when piecing a quilt.

This comes down to a personal choice, however, many will tell you, including myself, that the green will stand out better in bright daylight.I have both a Red and a Green on different pistols and prefer the green in brighter light conditions.

I bought this for my elderly sister. She has arthritic hands and she told me she LOVES it. I have not used it myself, but I would definitely buy myself one on the strength of her recommendation. I hope this helps you.

This clip swivel can be used in either position. See which position is comfortable for you.

I have one for my rt. knee while it gives the mental effect of stability I would be very careful torquing your foot as this is a much softer brace unlike the ones with sturdier metal supports. It advertises metal but feels very flimsy the three Velcro fasteners I like and very comfortable under pants or jeans but for athletic activity I would worry about it.
