Friday farming tip #3
Our highly useful & incredibly instructional farming tip today comes courtesy of the AgrAbility Project & their tips for farming with an arm amputation.
- Although nails can be started using one hand, doing so may result in a smashed finger or a blood-blister. One-handed nail starters could be good alternative. These starters include the Ted Hammer, the Auto Hammer, or a hammer that has been adapted with magnets attached to the inside of the claw that hold the nail in place while it is being started. One farmer who used a Dorrance Hook found a simple solution–he grasped a comb in the jaws of the terminal device and placed nails between the teeth of the comb. The comb held several nails in place so he was able to start them all very quickly.
There you go & happy farming.
