Keith Howell

“We here never stop looking at new and innovative ways to make using adaptive driving equipment safer, easier and less intrusive. The improvements we have recently made to our hand controls and left foot accelerators represent a dramatic improvement over the old traditional styles. I know a little something about driving with adaptive equipment, I have been

doing it for over 25 years.”
KEITH HOWELL, President

The Future of Hand Controls

The beginning was almost tragic,

the outcome truly remarkable

Keith Howell, president and founder of Howell Ventures Ltd. was in his early teens when he became a quadriplegic. As in most teenage boys, Howell still carried the desire to drive a car and be independent. After trying several styles of manual hand controls, Howell settled on one that dealt best with his disability. The only problem was that the manufacturer of the particular style had gone out of business. So, Howell set about to manufacture a set of controls that would emulate the easiest style of driving that he was able to find.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

GINNY ROEHM

OSF HEALTHCARE

I have really enjoyed the use of the Sure Grip hand controls that we have been using since January 2017. They are very easy to install, which is one of the best features as an instructor. Less time is always better! The electric controls are very easy to use and require very little energy. Patients are loving them. I really love having the gas and brake on the passenger side of the car. I feel like I have more control over the vehicle with the instructor accelerator and brake. These hand controls and instructor options have turned our program into a better, safer functioning program. Thank you to everyone at Sure Grip for helping make this happen!

CLOCK CONVERSIONS

I have the FeatherLite Push/Rock Hand Controls installed in my 2016 Toyota Sienna and absolutely love how much knee space the new style hand controls provide! They are effortless to use as well. Very happy with them! Switching over the pedals to the hand controls is very simple, much easier than the older style. Thank you Sure Grip!
