This back-saving tool attachment was created by an Alaskan fisherman named Stout who wanted to ease the strain of hauling heavy dip nets full of halibut and salmon.

Stout’s friends liked it so much they transferred the grip to their garden and snow shovels, rakes, push brooms, pool skimmers, paint extension poles, tree trimmers and saltwater fishing rods.

Its creator says this back-saving Gimpliment improves the performance of long-handled tools by transferring effort from the back to the legs, which lets the user stand up straighter under a heavy load and ease the strain on the back, neck and shoulders.
