    Our extra thick pens are easy to hold and suitable for individuals with arthritis, weaker hand strength, gripping or dexterity challenges. Children can also find greater writing control with a thick pen. The extra thick pens have a large barrel to make writing more comfortable with a larger area to grasp. The non-slip rubber grips reduce stress on the fingers and joints usually required to hold a pen. The extra thick pens write smoothly with a medium ballpoint, and come with an attachable lanyard.

    • The thick pen barrels come in 4 bright colours: Orange, Green, Blue, Red
    • Ink colour: Black

      Fantastic and speedy service!

      I have just been put in a brace due to bone on bone arthritis. I was searching for some things to help my work, and ordered these large pens, they arrived quickly and efficiently and I am finding them extremely helpful!

      Hi Lyn, thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Extra thick pens. We are glad to hear that they have been helpful for you, and we hope they continue to help you work during this challenging time. We appreciate your support and wish you all the best.

      Great experience

      These pens arrived promptly with a couple of freebies! They're great for our students with hand dexterity and mobility issues, at a more reasonable price than I've seen anywhere else.

      Thank you for your lovely review, Mali! It's wonderful to hear that the pens are being enjoyed by your students.

      Seniors like to deal with Australian companies.

      I am 80 years old and a very strong supporter of Australian-owned companies.

      I needed a special "Information Clock" for my wife who has short-term memory loss. I checked several websites and selected The Independence Shop as they are Australian and their presentation was good quality.

      They sent follow-up emails and I thanked them for their information and their business style. I will deal with them if we need other seniors-helpers and refer our friends when they need them.

      I wish Chris and Rosie best wishes for their future.

      Satisfied customer

      I purchased four products, each has proved good value, easy to use and three had no batteries to chase after.
      What I also liked was this was a local business with personal delivery which was very prompt.

      Sensory squishy ball - pack of 3

      We ordered our products for free local delivery, and couldn't be happier! They were delivered within the hour! I almost fell over! Plus great quality products for around the home and garden. Can definitely recommend The Independence Shop, especially for Bribie Islanders.

      I had an excellent experience. They have a wide range of products for independent living. Very happy with their service and to support a small Aussie business :-) Will definitely purchase from them again!

      Highly recommended. Found some great daily living aids and super gift ideas over the Xmas period from this online shop! My order arrived quickly and was well packaged.

      Great service!! I purchased through www.theindependenceshop.com.au and they delivered locally to mum in Bellara within the hour! Happy with the seatbelt reacher and Handybar that we purchased for the car, quality Stander products. Can recommend buying daily living products from The Independence Shop.

      Reliable service and a great selection of products. Found quite a few things that I didn't know were available. Worth a look!

      It's really nice to know what's available to support my elderly mother. I've tried to find useful things previously and it's not easy from one reliable place.

      The products arrived quickly. I didn't have to question if they would take months to get delivered or if they would even be what I ordered.
