Covid Claw (Door opener, etc)

prusaprinters

Like other no-touch door opener designs, this fits around your pointer (through the ring) and middle fingers allowing you to hook door handles, push buttons and levers without touching them. I've been using WOLLBREZEL's great PEWT design for a couple of weeks, it's a fantastic, compact and very functional part that I've been passing around the office since I first tried it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4271242 It gave me several ideas though and I had some time to spend learning OnShape so I whipped up this one. It's designed to improve on the PEWT's button pushing functionality and to have a larger surface area across the front for pushing heavier objects like security doors. I gave it a bit more support across the palm to improve the grip as well. It's even possible that it has some self-defense capability... Updated 5/13/20 to increase the keyring hole size, improve the thumb support along the back and add fillets around the finger holes. A light version was also added without the partial finger-surround by the keyring hole. Category: Hand Tools
