Abstract: A manual implement that facilitates a person's ability to perform and participate in everyday life activities and may include a first arm and a second arm pivotally connected to the first arm. The first arm may be biased away from the second arm. The first arm may also include a longitudinal axis, a finger guide, and a plurality of connection locations with the finger guide selectively connected to the first arm at one of the connection locations and selectively disposed at an angle to the axis. The second arm may include a thumb guide and a longitudinal axis so that the thumb guide may be selectively disposed at an angle to the axis of the second arm. The manual implement may also include a weight attached proximate the connection between the first arm and the second arm.
