DescriptionDescription: The pincers are an aid for people who cannot reach things in their surroundings, for example if they are sitting in a wheelchair. The light weight pincers have a rubber grip with a magnet. The harpoon-like support for the arm gives a more controlled motion. The work on developing the pincers had begun already in 1969, but Gustavsberg didn’t start to produce it until 1974.
