One-Handed Plant Clamp

About this project

A hand-operated plant clamp tool designed for easy use with one functional hand. Pressing the handle opens small clamps that grips the plant upon release. The tool directly mounts to your workbench using a clamp that can also be secured with one hand.

The challenge

To assist users in performing two-handed planting tasks with one hand.

Who it helps

For individuals with limited mobility who have only one functional hand.

How it works

The tool stabilizes and securely holds the plant in position, allowing the user to cut branches with scissors for propagation.
