1. Generate an Idea Identifying the Problem Blisters are a common problem for people engaged in activities like raking, shoveling, sweeping, or any other task that requires prolonged gripping of handles. Manual labor, household chores, and gardening can all lead to painful blisters on hands, especially in areas prone to repetitive friction. While gloves offer some protection, they don’t fully prevent blisters and can be uncomfortable, especially in warmer weather. The Solution: GripGuard GripGuard is a compact, flexible hand-protection device that slides onto the handles of common tools (e.g., rakes, shovels, and brooms) to minimize friction and prevent blisters. Made from soft, durable materials, GripGuard distributes pressure evenly and provides a cushion to reduce the direct friction between hands and handles. Its design also keeps hands cooler and provides a better grip, making it comfortable for long-term use. 2. Conduct Market Research Market Potential The home and garden tools ...
