Is the knob a crank or fluted round plastic knob?
Do any of you have issues that prevent the use of both hands?
Stability? Yeah I got lots when standing on the floor and gripping a hand rail. A length of EMT steel tubing with adapters on both ends would allow the use of a cordless screwdriver. A real cheap one to limit torque.
Before getting all worked up about how to adapt it a cheap Harbor Freight socket adapter can be spot welded to one end at any muffler shop. I've done this and the shops seem to be compassionate about helping the handicapped.
But the vent side needs to be designed for the knob.
Zaaaaaap
Another strip of bent sheet metal.
Slip some shelf liner around the rod and stick it and it won't look like an S&M appliance. One battery charge should last a couple hundred operations and can be done single handedly.
Handy helpers -- makes one handed life tolerable.
Now if I can come up with a set of trainer wheels when I am walking...
