power grip
Whole-hand clutch
A power grip is a grasp where the fingers and palm wrap around an object with the thumb reinforcing from the opposite side, maximizing strength and control: Use a power grip on the hammer handle.
The term comes from ergonomics and biomechanics, distinguishing this whole-hand grip from the precision grip used for fine manipulation.
Power grips are essential for tools, sports equipment, and heavy lifting.
