Special Supplies Long Foam Pencil Grips for Kids Adults Colorful, Cushioned Holders for Handwriting, Drawing, Coloring | Ergonomic Right or Left-Handed Use | Reusable (12)

I have painful osteoarthritis in my hands, specifically in my thumbs and index (pointer) finger. The holes are a little big for some hooks so my hubs just wrapped a couple of layers of electricians tape then push the cushion down onto the hook where it feels comfortable to hold.All other arthritis grips and ergonomic hooks just were too small and did not help alleviate the pain. These are cushioned just right for my hands. So give them a try at a great price!

I actually use these on my crochet hooks. Makes them 100% more comfortable. My kiddo uses them on their pencils and it helps their hand not get so tired.

These are pretty big, but if you have arthritis or have trouble gripping a pen or pencil, they help. I just opened the pack & noticed that there's lots of comments that they are huge, but no actual measurements. It's hard to get a photo that looks like it does to the eye.These are 4 1/4" long & 1 1/4" wide in the fatter parts & 1" wide in the skinny parts. The hole for the pencil is 1/4" or 5 millimeters. It's pretty tight to get on a pencil out of the package, I did have to twist the pencil part of the way - but most pencil grips are tight when new & they do loosen up with use usually. I didn't have a standard #2 pencil handy, so I used a hotel pencil that should be the same size. The foam is firm right out of the bag, but not hard like some of the silicone options. Some described these as handlebars in other posts & they do resemble them, but my handlebars always had hard grips. Since I just got them, I haven't used them much - I did notice that my handwriting is a little different with them because they are awkward right now, I will have to get used to using them, but just wanted to share the size right away so others can have the answer. Hope it helps!I have arthritis, so holding a regular size pencil or pen is painful & you can't read my writing after a few minutes - I have tried several different pencil grips over the years & they are either too small & too hard or my arthritis has progressed more so they aren't comfortable anymore. Years ago, I actually purchased thicker name brand pens designed for arthritis & it's hard to find the ink refills now, so I went back to the under $2 multi-packs & pencil grips since it's cheaper & readily available.Edit: I found a standard #2 pencil & it slides through easily, the hotel pencils & other novelty pencils are a little bit bigger than the standard #2 pencils. Both do work, you just have to twist the bigger ones to get them all the way through - the standard #2 pencil is perfect. My Bic pens slide in easily too.

Hoped these might be helpful w my crochet hooks allowing for less pressure with my grip so I can crochet for longer hours - and they r perfect! If a hook too thin I simply add tape or rubber and around the hook and insert into grip. Highly recommend for crocheters out there - they r durable and a good value for money.

This was almost exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately it’s HUGE. Makes pens look ridiculous. I would love it if it were half the width and slightly shorter. I’ll keep them, but it’s not perfect.

These were much bigger than expected. When I tried to slide … it wouldn’t budge. I cut one in half thinking it would slide easier and it would not. These were a really tight fit.

Great for my crochet hooks. Not sure bad cat toy either

My occupational therapist used one of these grips in a therapy session for a traumatic wrist injury causing decreased hand function and grip. It was my favorite tool to say the least! It had the “right “spacing” when seated in my hand to practice grip strength—like gripping a handlebar, and the foam was perfect to prevent slippage. My hand measurements in grip strength, wrist strength and fist ability had improved by 10 degrees in 2 weeks! Plus, it has helped my intrinsic fingertip touch, thus being able to sign my name! With lengthier writing, I use it on my pen! I gifted half the bag to my OT!
