[Jewelry making - Article 01053] - [Orchid] Tools for Hand gripping problems

    I have been experiencing problems with my hands when making
    jewellery a little lately. My doctor has said it is due to
    hyper-mobility in the joints (basically they are too bendy and over
    extend) so are liable to dislocation. 

    It is mostly a problem with tightly gripping things, so not great for
    a jeweller! I have bought a 'piercers pleasure' from Rio Grande which
    is great but does anyone have any suggestions for tools that can
    help. Quick release stuff would be good so my making time isn't
    extended too much. I am based in the UK, but will happily order from
    USA as the selection of tools the re is greater. Please help! 

Thanks
