    Project on improvements on every day DIY tools for the elderly and disabled


    Hi Folks

    A friend of mine is doing a project on how every day DIY tools can be improved so that they can be use easily used be the elderly, disabled, and other individuals who have below average movement and strength in their body.

    Can you think of any tools which can be improved in that way?

    Where is the best place in order to get more information regarding this?

    Thanks in advance for your responses.
