Will this help for hitchhiker's thumb (double jointed thumb)? I'm having a lot of trouble with my thumb joint because it's double jointed.

It may since the bulb-shape of the holder keeps your hand more open as opposed to clenched tightly around the hook and the long handle balances it in your hand. This may be a more stable position for your thumb. Hope this helps!

Thanks for asking, and Yes it does. I have arthritis in thumbs too and I use it all the time. My original OXO had a rubber grip which was better for my hand, but the replacement with the plastic handle works the same. I still would purchase above another style or brand.

We didn't have that problem. Sounds likes yours is too tight. Check to see if you can loosen the joint.

Not at all, it works great. You can do 4 fingers at a time and then both thumbs, still very quick and effective.

I have fairly small hands and tried to use one splint on the 2 fingers you mentioned and it didn't work. It kept popping off as there's not enough velcro to keep it on 2 fingers. They are made for only one finger. I use my splint for my middle finger and after a couple weeks wearing it during the day and at night, I now only have to use it at night. Best little splint, from my personal experience. Hope yours gets better.

Yes, if you are coordinated enough to not use the thumb. I used my other fingers and mouth to pull the velcro

Yes, this works for either hand. It does a fantastic job of supporting a strained thumb while it heals!

It's a very tight fit. We sort of wiggled side to side and slid forward as we did that and it just worked itself in, but it was a little bit. My co-worker has stronger hands than me and got it. Know that's not much but hope it helps.

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

I haven't, personally. But I would think it would be useful for any tightly seamed snap joints. Actually, I just gave it a go on my XBox controller and, yes, once you remove the six screws, it will work like a charm.

Mine will do just the hands, thumb, or both at the same time. Hope this helps you out.

If you have a friend that has a functional grip, try theirs too. This could help in troubleshooting. Good luck!

Yes, I believe so, the main thing to do is make sure the Tightener is tightened up after pulling a way because a rough road can loosen it up. For my travel trailer I use the tongue jack to take weight off and tighten up the hitch after starting the pull. Happy Trails, RMc

you have to do your thumb separate, unless you can really contort your hand to get your thumb in line with your fingers. The light is curved a bit, but for me, trying to put my thumb in at the same time is not very practical or comfortable. I was able to do my toes without problem.

Might have to use a longer allen wrench. Then the one that come with it. I grabbed mine with a pair of pliers. I have a bad wrist tho.

I put on rubber gloves for traction but each time I go through some confusion about which direction to turn the top and bottom. At some point, it works. Ask the manufacturer, maybe they have the answer.

No it dose not, but you can easily do that with your thumb. All and all it is well made and really works great. You should like it. It' the best one I have found.
