Arthritis-friendly Hose Attachments and Tools

I don't know how many of you have issues with weak or painful hands. Someone on Facebook posted this fitting for turning on and off the hose, or to install between the hose and a watering hose attachment. If you have arthritis-friendly gadgets, maybe you would like to share them here.

I was a mess after the second Pfizer shot. Besides the L5- S1 synovial cyst, which may or may not be related, I had hyper-sensitive skin and hand weakness. I bought these watering nozzles because my thumb was the only digit with any strength.

I purchased two nozzles from Wilco this year that have a similar feature: a flip-type lever that can be operated with a thumb or forefinger to shut off the water.
