Palm Pen Holder

The Palm Pen Holder makes it easier to grip a pen, pencil, or other writing utensil and may be useful for someone who has difficulty holding a pen or pencil directly. The device is able to be slid onto the hand of the user or gripped in various positions. The multiple sizing allows for various writing utensils and hand sizes.

There are multiple sizes available for this device for both the fit over the hand, and hole size for the pen. If you are requesting this device, please indicate which sizes you'd like by following the guidance in the following sizing guide.

A pen or pencil is inserted through the Palm Pen Holder pen hole and is fixed in place by tightening a set screw to allow for different writing utensil sizes. The device can be gripped in multiple ways and also gently squeezes the hand for stability when writing. With different sizing available, this device works well with narrow writing utensils like paintbrushes or wider ones like sharpie markers. In addition, the device itself has alternate sizing to provide options for the user.

This device is suitable for adults and children who find holding a pen difficult or tiring, including those with spinal cord injuries and arthritis who may not be able to hold a pen directly.

This device is a beginner level build that requires 3D printing and minimal assembly.

The device has multiple sizes, please see the Palm Pen Holder Sizing Guide to learn more. Assembly is minimal and instructions can be found in the Palm Pen Holder Assembly Guide.
