What people do today

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

A lever-extension attachment that increases mechanical advantage for trigger-style clamps
A palm-operated trigger adapter that allows using the whole hand or forearm instead of fingers
A ratcheting accessory that converts trigger-clamp motion into a screw-driven tightening mechanism

“Sometimes, I need more force than I can get with normal operation, due to a dominant hand injury.”
