Ergonomics is the study of how work is done and how to make it better. It has led to an entire subset of products that make work safer for the body. This is done by designing items that increase utility, are more comfortable to use, and reduce injury through frequent use.
Gardening is one area where ergonomics have become especially popular.
Hand, back and other injuries to the body are commonplace in hobbies like gardening. Many people have considered giving up gardening due to pain that comes from using the wrong tools. Some ergonomic tools to consider:
Extend a Hand Ergonomic Gardening Tool Set: The tools attach to the forearm and feature a right-angled grip to promote strength and leverage. Interchangeable heads turn the tool into a hoe, trowel, cultivator, or pruning saw.
Radius Garden 102 Weeder Hand Tool: alleviates wrist and hand fatigue from gripping and pulling out weeds. It features a hand grip that provides more leverage with less wrist stress. The aluminum blade helps to cut through roots and lift out weeds with minimal effort.
Garden Works Ergonomic 7 Pattern Sprayer: Instead of squeezing a hand grip to activate the hose nozzle, a sliding thumb valve controls water flow while reducing hand strain. Seven water flow patterns allow gardeners to choose from misting to streaming flows.
Bond LH029 Ergonomic Handle Garden Spade: the handle and length of the tool gives comfort and leverage when digging in soil.
Gardening doesn’t have to be painful when you use the right tools.
