GARDEN
TOOLS WHICH GIVE
"MORE WORK FOR LESS EFFORT"
ERGONOMICS-
"The study of the relationship between people
and the furniture, machinery and tools they use at
work."
The object is to
improve work performance by removing sources of
muscular stress and general fatigue.
The
Natural way to hold Hand-tools.
The PETA range of
ergonomic garden and hand tools consists of a
fork, trowel, weeder, hoe and cultivator. All
metal parts are stainless steel which does not
rust and reduces soil adhesion.
PETA Fist-Grip
handles are at approximately 90" from the
tool head allowing the wrist and hand to be held
in a neutral stress free position enabling a much
firmer grip on the tool. The average weight of the
tools is 225gms (8ozs).
Gardeners with weak
hands or wrists will benefit considerably by using
a PETA arm support cuff, which plugs into the rear
of any tool and can be changed from one tool to
another. The strength of the forearm is then
employed in assisting the hand and wrist.
PETA Long-Reach
garden tools are designed for gardeners who prefer
to sit on a stool or chair whilst working. The
tools are approximately 76cm (31") long and
all metal parts are stainless steel. The
Long-Reach range includes fork, trowel, cultivator
and hoe. A PETA interchangeable arm support should
be used with PETAL Long-Reach tools which will
give greater control over the tool and reduce any
strain on the wrist.
The average weight
of Long-Reach tools is 450gms (16ozs).

Fist-Grip handles bring comfort to Gardening
PETA Fist-Grip
Add-On handles may be fitted to conventional
garden hand tools so that all the advantages and
benefits of the PETA Fist-Grip system can be
enjoyed by gardeners by adapting their own
existing hand tools.
PETA Add-On handles
are also designed to be used on long handled tools
such as rakes, hoes, brooms, mops etc. which
require pushing or pulling. Their use on these
tools give several benefits:
Two
PETA Add-On handles should be fitted to long
handled tools for maximum benefit.
PETA
ARM SUPPORTS can
be fitted to any Fist-Grip tool or Add-On handle
and can be transferred from one tool to another.
Two types of arm cuffs are offered, one being made
from firm plastic and the other is a soft wrap
around cuff which is firmly held in position by
Velcro. The plastic arm support weighs only 100gms
(3'/20ZS).
These tools are a
must for people who suffer from Arthritis if they
wish to continue gardening.
