A New 'Spin' On Door Levers

Fundamentally, door levers are made to grasp with fingers.  There is not enough clearance between the door and the lever for a fist when pulling.  The Spin Sling 360 has a concave lever that spins.  Simply turn your wrist to spin the lever and the concave shape adds extra clearance for your fist.  Brilliant.
