Our Story

We are passionate about helping you live a full, productive, and independent life. 

Sherwood & Lynn

Gripz was inspired by the real-life needs of Sherwood and Lynn. Sherwood saw the need for some kind of device to help Lynn continue painting despite her hand osteoarthritis. So he invented one! This led to the development of the Sher-Hold product line. Our journey began with a simple goal: to help people with hand discomfort pursue their passions and daily activities with ease. Today, Gripz is proud to offer products that improve the quality of life for our users by reducing hand discomfort and extending their productive years.

Inspired by Real Needs

Imagine being able to pursue your passions, pain-free! That's exactly what inspired Gripz. It all started with Sherwood, who wanted to help Lynn keep painting, even with her hand osteoarthritis. From that loving inspiration, the Sher-Hold product line was born! We're here to help you rediscover the joy of your favorite activities, with comfort and ease.
