I made this multi-purpose tool to reduce the necessity of touching surfaces which a lot of people need to touch during these days, i.e. during shopping trips, doctor visits... I will disinfect it properly after use.

The tool was field-tested during shopping and proves itself pretty feasible.

The following tasks can be done with it:

pulling / grabbing of the shopping cart
opening/closing of doors
opening/closing of drawers
operating buttons of venting machines, ATM's, elevators etc.

I showed some examples, you get the idea.

I printed a couple of these and gave them to my family, they liked the idea and will use it. This is only a very small contribution to stop the pandemic, but I think that it might help in reducing the probability to get in contact with potentially infected surfaces.

Stay safe and protect the weak, whatever we need to do in these times, we do it for them!

Please note: this does not guarantee entirely that you might not get infected. Please use special caution in accordance with offical guidances (social distancing,...).

I chose ColorFabb XT due to its high strength. PETG and ABS should work, too. I have not chosen PLA because it is more brittle, I feared that it might break during harsher use. Prove me wrong.
