A Hand Hook For Opening Drawers With Narrow Handles

As I drew inspiration from the competition video, I bound my hand in duct tape, forming a tight fist. This allowed me to experience firsthand the challenges of performing daily tasks with limited dexterity. Specifically, opening drawers proved to be a daunting task. With multiple drawers scattered throughout my workspace, each serving a distinct purpose - writing utensils, clothing, and cooking supplies - I found myself struggling to navigate them with my duct-taped hand. The inability to curl my fingers around the handles and the narrow channels made it impossible for my thick fist to fit through. This frustrating experience sparked an innovative idea: creating a hand hook that would alleviate this struggle. The design consisted of a bracelet attached to a long, slender appendage, carefully crafted to mimic the shape of a curled finger. With this ingenious tool, I could effortlessly open drawers, freeing myself from the constraints of my duct-taped fist.
