Accessible Zipper Pull

Zippers, be they in trousers or dressers, are quite often problematic for people with arthritis and related conditions. They may be too small or difficult to pull. This innovation was shared online aiming at providing a simple, cheap solution for the problem.
Three materials are required: a cup hook, a dowel and a PVC T-joint - all of them can be bought in a hardware store and it is advisable to check if the dowel fits in the PVC joint. Then, it all can be done quite easily: you screw the cup hook in one of the dowel's ends and then attach the other end to the PVC T-joint. This way, you will have a cheap, light, and very manageable device that can be carried without much trouble. Check the pictures, for they can give you further guidance.
