how it works
A Grip-Based Typing Tool
Type at professional speeds without aggravating pre-existing forearm pain with FiTchucks, a comfortable, lightweight tool you hold in your hands. FiTchucks orients your arms and hands into a healthy, neutral position while also shifting typing action to the robust muscles of the upper arms and shoulders (and away from the more fragile tissues of the forearms, wrists and fingers).

Pain-Free Typing
- FiTchucks doesn’t aggravate typing-related pain in the forearms due to tendinitis or repetitive strain injury.
- It neutralizes repetitive hand and finger movements that can aggravate carpal tunnel syndrome.
- A possible alternative for those typing with arthritic hands or long fingernails.
- Tone while you type! FiTchucks provides your upper arms and shoulders with an aerobic workout while you type.

- An excellent complement to ergonomic workstations.
- Great for both computers and laptops.
User Friendly
- Need a break? Drape FiTchucks around your neck with its adjustable neck cord—it keeps FiTchucks out of the way when you need your hands and quickly accessible when you need to type.
- Worn erasers are easily replaced with standard pencil eraser caps. Two caps included with purchase!
Handmade in the USA!
Each pair of FiTchucks is carefully handcrafted in western Massachusetts. Pencils are made from recycled newspaper. (Grip trim color, shown here in red, will vary.)
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT SAFE USE
Typing with FiTchucks necessitates repeated movement of the elbows and shoulders and a slight downward tilt of the head and neck (to scan the keyboard). If you have pain or discomfort in these areas, or in your wrists, please consult a physician before trying FiTchucks.
BEST PRACTICE: SHORTEN PENCIL ERASERS BEFORE APPLYING ERASER CAPS
A few months of typing will wear/shorten pencil erasers. Worn erasers are easily replaced with standard pencil eraser caps—two caps included with purchase! Be sure pencil erasers are worn or cut them to 1/3rd of their original length before applying eraser caps. This will prevent pencil erasers from breaking off inside of the caps. Please see demo video below ("Apply Eraser Caps Over Worn or Cut Pencil Erasers").
