Installed hand controls are the safest and easiest and most comfortable to use. I got SCI in 1981 and got my first vehicle in 1982 a Pontiac Gran Prix after I checked myself out of rehab. I have been using MPS Monarch right angle hand controls ever since in 5 vehicles 4 new and 1 used. They are the gold standard of hand controls.
Thank you!
I've had mine two years and love them. They gave me back a ton of freedom.
Best demo I found for these. Recently found myself in need of hand controls been driving for a LONG time worried I couldn't get used to using hand controls. One thing I learned quickly its easy to push both the gas and brake simultaneously-DON'T DO THAT! lol. I installed mine today and drove around block a a few times. not difficult. Thanks Rob.
Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you like it. It has made life so much easier for me. Hope they work out for you. Take care.
Thank you!
Robb!!! I am so happy for you!! Driving had become such a chore for me and my doctor got me a similar set of portable breaks bc she didn’t want me to lose my independence again. I can now enjoy driving again and when I get out of the car my legs aren’t exhausted!!! I am truly happy for you Rob!!!! I’m smiling hard over here for you!!!!
Thanks so much! You were the inspiration behind me getting them! I was thinking and looking and Kelly said, "Meloney just got them." That was my sign!
I am so relaxed behind the wheel again and enjoy driving again. It was so stressful before. Be well and strong!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks for the demo. Still not sure which model I'll buy, but this one works on both gas and brake----so it might be right for me.
Really glad you were able to get use of those. I'm actually getting a lot of use from your video because I also have ms and it's gotten really dangerous to drive anymore. Thank you
Just pulled the trigger on my order! Looking forward to getting the controls and having my freedom again! Thanks again for your video
Thanks again vudeo ive been nervous about getting this but driving is challenging so i ordered this today thanks again
I think you will be very very happy with the freedom you will feel once you start. Glad to help.
How are you getting on with your sticks ( if you don't mind me asking you?)
Got mine installed today. Love them
That's awesome. One less thing to stress about. Driving is a great way to unwind. Well, I guess that depends on where you are driving but you know what I mean! Open road, music, your own thoughts. Shouldn't have to worry about your safety.
Thanks for giving me confidence
It really changed a lot for me. Good luck to you!
I will be taking my written test next week and have looked into this brand of hand controls to use. They look like a good brand to learn to drive in. I am unable to drive with my feet as I have trouble walking, so I am planning on ordering this brand once I get my permit. Thank you for this video.
Good luck! I think you will really like using them. Sadly I do not drive anymore but those times I was able to use them gave me such a feeling of freedom.
Thanks for showing me a possibility in my near future mate. 3 months ago I was in a pushbike/car accident and I've lost control of my right leg. This could be the answer. Take care and Happy New Year to you and your families.
This is an absolutely amazing product and amazing solution for those of us that would have problems driving. Honestly, it was so amazing to use. You’re going to really enjoy it. Good luck to you, my friend! Happy new year to you and your family!
Also, if you have cruise control in your car, when I’m straight roads where you don’t have to stop, I use it and it frees up my right hand until I have to break. :)
Meloney, maybe you can help Christine in the comments from today regarding cruise control? Thanks.
I have a set of these and I have had issues with them coming loose… the wing nut keeps backing off.
I too share the same affliction and am ordering some sticks today...past time to do so.
Just wondering how you're getting on with your sticks (if you don't mind me asking you?)
Ahhh, that's how they work. I'm a T3 paraplegic and I have a bolt in set of hand controls in my truck but that is the only vehicle I can drive. Being able to drive other vehicles would be a huge convenience.
Thanks for checking it out.
Thanks for your comment; I have noticed my stiff ankle wasn't too much of an issue until my son took over my 1/2 ton pick up. Then driving my mercury marquis was a bit difficult. So either I go back to a sit up position in a truck or try out the hand controls, Thanks for posting
Thanks
That is pretty cool!!!
Loving driving again!!
Great 👍🏻
I had a question, I was trying to use the signal with the QuicStic and it wasn't working for me. Does anybody have any ideas on other ways to signal? Has there been anything anyone rigged up to help them signal? Anyway, thank you for the video, it was very helpful.
ok i just tried mine for the first time.
I think i prefer the peddlemaster.
I let the quickstick rest in my lap to answer the phone and somehow it pushed the accelerator.
good thing the car was in park.
so it seems if you ever need to put the handle down it can be dangerous?
Good Luck and thanks for the video.
nublackmusic oh wow! Be careful and I hope you’re enjoying them as much as I do. Such a sense of freedom comes back to you when you can drive. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
@ nublackmusic how is the peddle master working for you? There ain’t much reviews or videos on them, I was thinking of getting those, much easier and faster to install I assume
@@JB-ym6tc I finally figured out the quick sticks. the trick is that it can not be in your lap.
it must be installed to be on your right or left side.
If you put it in your lap and you hit the brake it will sometimes accelerate . this should be stated in their instructions or on their website.
the peddle master are easier to put on but if you have a vehicle with a cramped driver position the peddle master can also run the risk of both accelerator and brake being pushed.
i hope to make a video on it soon.
Peace!
I just opened mine up today but according to the instructions there is supposed to be some type of pins in there to set the length of the sticks but I don't see it did yours come with that or was there some other procedure you had to follow to set them up correctly
nublackmusic Yeah on the shaft of the posts there are Cotter pins for the sizing holes.
Does it tire your thumb over time? Like what if u had to drive an hour strait on the interstate. Would your hand and thumb get tired?
Use the cruise control in that case. I haven't taken any long trips with it. I'm not driving anymore. Thanks for checking out the video!
Why do shops charge an arm and a leg for hand controls? Most disabled people are on social security which means they have a very small income. It's frustrating. Also, can this be used as a permanent fix? I'm permanently disabled and I need something durable and long term.
I didn’t get to use these for a real long time because my disability progressed and now I don’t get behind the wheel anymore. From what I saw from the materials, the design and the workmanship: these are heavy duty and will withstand the test of time.
How does it feel still? I woke up partially paralyzed and have foot drop with my right foot and was looking into this. I drive with my dogs (my only family) and I want them to be safe.
I am so sorry I missed your comment. I felt very safe using them. It was such a feeling of freedom t be able to drive comfortably and feel safe. Unfortunately I no longer drive since my condition has worsened in the last 2 years.
Do you need dot approval to use these?
No clue. I just installed them and drove.
Does the gas pedal clamp fit okay on the Subaru gas pedal? I was looking at my Forester and wasn't sure if the clamp would work.
Yes. It fit my Crosstrek’s pedal with no problem. By the looks of the design it seems to be universal. I attached it up from the bottom and then tightened down the clamps real well. It never budged once attached.
@@LifewithRobBrazius Thanks for the reply! It's good to know that it fits on the Crosstrek, I was wanting to test drive one of those. My Forester has a bulky plastic piece on the back of the gas pedal (not sure if that is typical on all Subarus), so I was just curious. I just saw that QuickStick offers an adapter clamp as well so I am going to get that just in case. I am looking forward to trying these out!
I have had this installed for a day and the jerky stopping 🙆🏾♀️🛑 I wish there was a temporary was a lock for the brake though
I went around the blocks for about 20 times to get used to it. Once you are comfortable, it is a life changer. Thanks for checking out the video.
Can i use it on manual transmission? Thank you for your time.
Check the website. www.quicstick.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxJqHBhC4ARIsAChq4avVSBmVyW8Y5mGMTtw2hykzeWrEooiFYzVlCCdiu0PoPy_Xi8w40qUaAja7EALw_wcB
you have a link to this hand control product you are showing in the video
Search QuicStick hand controls. The website will come up. There is also a link to purchase it on Amazon in the video description box. Thanks for watching!
Please let me know how often you need to retighten the clamps on the pedals.
At first, I would check it every time I drove but then once I got confidence about it I would check it every week. Never needed to be adjusted once the initial installation was done. I always checked anyway.
@@LifewithRobBrazius Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm glad to know that they stay secure. Now I just have to find out if my state's DMV requires drivers using hand controls to obtain special certificates on their driver licenses.
@@ThePoppie225 Anytime!! Definitely check with your insurance company! In NY my ins said nothing is needed. I found that rare for such an "interesting" place as NY. A lot of times, people at the DMV know next to nothing. Ins always has the answers. And my money! lol
Is the thumb control hard to puH? I have rhuematoid arthritis in my hands. Thanks!
It wasn't difficult at all. I guess that would depend on your pain level and condition of your hand. So sorry I missed this comment. Did you wind up buying them?
@@LifewithRobBrazius Yes I bought them and nearly crashed my Jeep right out of the driveway. LOL It would have taken me a while of practice on a lot before I would have been able to drive with the hand controls. Just too much muscle memory and arthritic hands and wrists. I have now given up on driving and sold the Jeep. I will do fine..... no worries.
word!
Is there anything like this in the UK?
I did a search and this was one that came up. www.autochair.co.uk/products/driving-aids/push-pull-lever-hand-controls
is there any cheaper coto
like
👍
Can it be used with cruise control?
Just don't touch the brakes and it should work the same. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@LifewithRobBrazius hi, do you have to keep your hand down to keep the gas going? With cruise control I don't need to have the gas pressed
@@cmokon I recommend you contact the manufacturer for these questions as I don't use cruise control while driving. I do short drives locally. I want you to be able to use it confidently and safely. So sorry I don't have the answer for you.
@@LifewithRobBrazius thanks again for your help
@@cmokon There is a comment below regarding cruise control. Maybe you can ask Meloney.
