Squeezer for people with only one arm

Shared by Salomé Azevedo on 2014-11-27 12:14

About the solution

Sander Klomp got a team together and adapted a regular soda can crusher into a dish rag squeezer for a colleague, Bart, who has a disability.
Bart only has one functioning arm and found that one of his day-to-day challenges was properly and easily squeezing a wet dish rag in the kitchen.
After coming up with the solution, the team shared all the plans and insctutions online, on the instructables website, so that anyone with disability can make use of this innovation.
