ABSTRACT:
A grip system for tools, instruments and other objects held or operated by hand includes a plurality of finger pieces, each having a concave surface to accommodate the convexity of finger palmar surfaces of the holding hand. Each of the finger pieces is connected to the outer wall of a discrete finger piece mount having ends suitable for interdigitation with the adjacent end of another such mount. Each finger piece has a cavity for housing a receiving stem. The receiving stem extends from the working portion of the hand tool or instrument and is telescopically received within the cavities of the discrete finger piece mount. Alternative mounting mechanisms are also described.
