#1420: Grabasket

Carrying one of those wire baskets around a supermarket, I like to spread the load as shown. I tend to grip the front edge of the basket and support much of the weight on my forearm.

Today’s invention is a clip-on foam device, in the form of one of those pipe-lagging tubes -but made of stiffer stuff.

This runs across the handle and down its side to the front of the basket, redistributing the weight and stopping any pressure-related pain in arm and fingers.
