I missed the live broadcast as I did not realise one need zoom to take part so thank you for repeating it here, Peter

One "adaptive device" I've used for failing grip strength is a channellock adjustable wrench from my toolbox. Good for bottle caps, packets of deli meat, zips, short/broken pull cords... G-clamps and vises are useful too - able-bodied workers are not superman; everyone needs a hoist or fork-lift at some point. No need to be ashamed of not lifting 500lbs, or 5.
