The Pencil Grip Heavyweight Mechanical Pencil Set, Ergonomic Weighted Pencil With Lead Refills - TPG-652, Black/Silver/Blue, 2 Piece set

Tremors, Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a general lack of strength, and other hand heath issues effect millions of adults. These can make the many daily activities that involve handwriting difficult and painful. The HeavyWeight Pencil strengthens hands and promotes steadier, more legible handwriting. As the weight encourages the use of larger muscles, it eases stress on the fingers, wrist, and hands. This reduces the effects of hand health issues on daily living and quality of life.

Children need to develop fine motor skills and adequate hand strength before they can improve their handwriting. The added weight of the HeavyWeight Pencil addresses both issues. And, the unique grip is recommended by occupational therapists to help children learn to write.

The Heavyweight Pencil weighs approximately 4.0 ounces. This is equal to a stack of 20 quarters, or five AA batteries. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the pencil so it is easily balanced and controlled. Weighted products like the HeavyWeight Pencil are widely recommended by occupational therapists for managing the challenges associated with hand health disorders.

The grip on the HeavyWeight Pencil is called The Pencil Grip. It was designed by a doctor for comfort and control. The unique shape of The Pencil Grip gently positions fingers in the proper, ergonomic position for gripping. This proper positioning reduces stress on the fingers, reduces fatigue, and helps the hand relax as it writes. To use, Righties and Lefties simply place their thumb on the “R” or the “L” printed on the grip. The other fingers will naturally fall into place with the middle finger on the underside of the grip.
