Now and Zen |
And are they still available anywhere? Could I simply have one made from suitable bar stock? I have a friend who has trouble rising up from a seated position, especially in her car.

I think someone makes one with a seat belt cutter and glass breaker in it too. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

What a cool idea, I’ve never seen one before but that’s genius! “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “ in my opinion, anything that we can do to trigger a potential aneurysm in a leftist is a good thing and worth doing” nhtagmember 2025 | |||

I have a version and it really helps getting out of a fairly low-slung sports car, especially in tight quarters such as a parking lot. ___________________________________________ The annual soothsayers and fortunetellers conference has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. | |||

Won't work. I need one that shrinks me by 50% and hydraulics my tuckus up out of the seat. | |||

Thanks for bringing this up. That is an awesome idea. I will have to order one for a family member. | |||

This thing looks like it could easily bend the striker/latch mechanism or change the adjustment since it puts forces in a completely different direction than it was designed for.

I will get by |
Mid 70's I made a 'helper' for my mom. As the frame door latch was a thick peg with a wide head I used a medium size hammer, removed the head and re-worked the claw to envelope the latch. A few neighbors & family friends saw it, wanted it. Taught my younger brother how to make them and I went back to work in The Village.

I got one for my Dad. And then bought two more for other cars. He has used them in BMW X5; Lincoln Navigator, Honda odyssey and CRV. None has caused any damage over the years. It gives him a great grab on place when getting in. | |||

I got one of those for my mother several years ago. Can't remember where it went but if I still have it, I'll certainly instant-Karma it to you. Let me go look around and see if I can find it. I'm with Rotndad what's your excuse. NRA Life Member NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor | |||
