Even though it is designed for seniors, I think I could find a place for the Hand Umbrella in my toolbox. The design trio of Li Hui, Deng Zengzhu, Ma Hengyi and Wang Yi designed the Hand Umbrella to protect elderly handymen from accidentally hitting themselves while hammering.
To use the Hand Umbrella, simply slide a nail through the red center hole. Once the nail has been pounded down, you can slide the Hand Umbrella and safely finish up. The Hand Umbrella will encourage the elderly to be more handy around the house and save people of all ages from bruising or breaking their fingers.
