Stout’s BackSaver Grip®

Fact Sheet

Description:       Patented, ergonomic attachment that makes it easier and less stressful to

                           work with all long-handled tools.

How it Works:   Allows a tool to be gripped higher on the shaft, eliminating the awkward

                           the burden off the back.  Also, the perpendicular gripping position

                           reduces stress on the wrist, arm and shoulder.  Another benefit is the

                           improved comfort, stability and control in working with overhead tools. 

Ergonomic         Reduces back strain and injury.  Increases productivity.  Reduces days
