Will a RECEIVE-ALL work on either hand?
Yes, it will work on either hand. The only difference
between left-handed and right-handed is the direction the straps go
over the hand and forearm, and the side the locking bar pivots from.
We give you the option because one configuration may be easier to
manipulate over the
other, depending on one's ability. Click here for a photo of the difference.
Can I change
the direction the locking bar pivots?
Yes,
the locking bar is held in place by a set screw, and it can be removed
and placed in the other threaded hole to make it pivot in the opposite
direction.
Do you make
different size Arm Braces?
No,
but we have sized the straps so they fit as wide a range of
hand
and arm sizes as possible. The cradle of the Arm Brace can
also
be sqeezed or expanded to help it conform to your arm. In
addition, we include a piece of
neoprene-foam tape for the forearm cradle of the Arm Brace, for those
who
have smaller arms. The neoprene is also great for anybody who
wants a little added comfort.
Why is it
spelled RECIEVE-ALL on the Adapters?
Like
most mistakes, there is a story behind it. A mistake was made
in
the mold that is used to create the Adapters. After the
mistake
was noticed, a decision was made to keep moving forward so as to not
further delay getting the product out. A 2nd decision was
made to
keep it as-is, and laugh about it!
What is a
cable-tie?
Cable-ties
are a type of fastener used to secure a variety of items.
They
are typically made from a nylon plastic. The cable-ties we
include have small ridges along their length. One end has a
clip,
and when the other end is inserted the ridges allow it to be tightened,
but do not allow it to loosen. The ridges are only on one
side of
the cable-tie, so it must be looped in the proper direction and not
twisted. Click here
to see which direction the
end must go through the clip.
Why do you
use cable-ties to attach items to the Adapters?
There
are many reasons we use cable ties. They are extremely versatile and
adjust to many size handles. They are also inexpensive and
can be
purchased at hardware or auto-parts stores. Cable-ties are
very
strong and hold the items in the Adapters securely.
The
cable-ties we include with each purchase have a 40 lb tensile rating.
We wouldn't be securing items with cable-ties if we weren't
confident in their ability.
Can I operate
the locking bar with limited hand dexterity?
Yes,
the end of the locking bar extends past the Arm Brace enough so you can
use the heel of your wrist, making it possible for someone with poor
dexterity to operate the locking bar. In addition, there is a
hole on the free end of the locking bar that can be used for adding a
loop or ring, or a combination of both. Click here
for an example.
