Sophie

"The Keywing has made a far bigger difference than I anticipated. I have severe arthritis, and I was really beginning to struggle with just putting a key in the lock, never mind turning it. This product is so simple yet so incredibly effective. I highly recommend getting one if you are having trouble with using keys!"

Doreen

Gail

"I really used to struggle using nail clippers in my left hand to trim the nails on my right hand. I just don't have the strength to hold the clippers and press down at the same time. This gadget has made trimming the nails on both hands so easy- I love it!"

Shelley

"Brill for my arthritic hands and raynauds hands always cold and stiff these gloves are well made excellent fit always on when i take them off to go to bed my hands are lovely and warm feel much better 😀"

Elizabeth

"I find the kettle is a great help, as I was struggling lifting my old kettle to fill it....but this is amazing. It is lighter to lift to fill and fits into the cradle with ease. Glad I decided to buy the Ucello one after looking for an alternative to my own."

Janet

"Wow! They're great! I wondered if I needed them, if I was making a fuss about a twinge or two. Well the difference is striking! I genuinely feel relief! They wash and dry very well. I'm so pleased with my purchase. Thank you so much. I'm now thinking of buying them in different colours."

Christine

"I have bad Arthritis in both hands and fingers and find it difficult to open my security gate and front door. I had brought another item to help but it wasn’t much help so I thought I would give yours a try. Thank you so much it makes it so easy now and no more sitting on the step waiting for someone to help me.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

Sarah

"An excellent tool, so well designed and easy to use."

Evelyn

"My daughter-in-law kindly bought me a pair of these gloves as the arthritis in my hands is getting worse. They have proved to give a lot of relief in my painful joints, so much so that I have treated myself to another pair. I would highly recommend these gloves."

Frances

"Just what I needed to help me in and out of the bath on ‘bad’ days."

Maggie

"I have osteoarthritic thumbs and so have tried a lot of tools for opening cans, from spoons to really expensive gadgets. This reasonably priced and simple tool is by far the most successful. I have used it on ring pull cans of various shapes and sizes without a problem. My thumbs say thank you!"

Anna

"Love the key turners. They really help as I often struggle to hold anything between my thumb and finger let alone exert any pressure through my arthritic bent and swollen joints. They also help me to spot my keys when I have buried them after putting them down! It sounds like I am over exaggerating but little aids like this really help and make me happy."

Fawzia

"Excellent gloves, really help to relieve the pain…at a push I can wear whilst driving. Currently it’s just my right hand that’s bad, so left hand glove a tad redundant for now."

Justin

"Omg what a fantastic kettle, my mum has arthritis and this as made her gain more independence and made life alit easier. Such a simple thing and hey we love it, thank you."
