A worker often comes home after a hard day at work with sore hands because he worked in a construction or industrial environment without wearing gloves or because the gloves he wore were not reinforced or suitable to ease the burden on the worker's hands.

Further, a carpenter may find that swinging a hammer all day causes palm discomfort or even blisters.

Similarly, a person who fishes frequently may find holding the handle of a fishing rod eventually chafes the palm of his hand.

Still further, a user finds it tedious and tiring simply to securely hold a tool or fishing rod in the palm of his hand for long periods of time.
