Let us answer your burning questions
Brody Knobs work great for drivers who have mobility issues, physical conditions or a handicap. If you have a hard time doing a hand over hand motion on a steering wheel, a steering wheel knob can be helpful. They are great for tight corners or parking or if you need to keep one hand on your shifter while steering with the other. They are beneficial for heavy automobiles without power steering systems.
Brody knobs are also great for semi-trucks, forklifts, farm tractors, construction equipment, riding lawnmowers and ice resurfacers where frequent sharp turning is required. They can even be beneficial for boats.
*If you drive a commercial or construction vehicle, you should check with your employer to ensure they don’t have any rules against using a steering knob.
