What Is a Steering Wheel Spinner?

With a wheel spinner, the driver modifies the steering wheel by adding a device they can use to turn the wheel.

This device is added directly to the steering wheel as a single piece that is grabbed or otherwise interacted with by hand.

By adding a device that allows the driver to turn the steering wheel by interacting with a singular point, they can easily drive themselves around without outside assistance. This works perfectly when paired with a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

The biggest benefit of this device is that you get to take matters into your own hands. No longer will you have to wait on someone else to drive you to where you want to go; now, you have the ability to do for yourself.

If you have difficulty using your hands to rotate the steering wheel in your vehicles a steering wheel spinner knob may be a good mobility solution for you. The wheel spinner, or the steering wheel drive, was designed to make things easier.

The Various Types of Steering Wheel Spinners

There are many different types that you can add to your car's steering wheel, and each one is tailored to the driver's personal needs. That being said, there are a few types of spinners that stand out as more popular than the rest. 

One such spinner is the spinner knob. As the name implies, the spinner knob looks very much like the round knobs found on many doorways. These spinner knobs are easy to grip and use and can be found on many farming and utility vehicles. 

There is also the single pin wheel spinner. The single pin works much like the knob but has a grip shaped like a pin. This is great for those who can't open their hands fully.

Looking for more control and confidence in your driving experience? The tri-pin has three pins for drivers with minimal grip strength or weaker wrists to use, allowing you to have full control in every situation.

Of course, there are plenty of other options to choose from that will be tailored to fit your needs. Make sure to take the time to find the one that's right for you!
