Help finding standard spring clips for weight bar

[ImFiddY]

I'm looking for standard size clips (or collars or clamps) for my weight bar that are easy to grip and put on. I'm finding that my hand strength has diminished as I get older and the spring clamps are very hard for me to squeeze. I have two sets and they both seem very hard for me to squeeze.

Do they make a 1" size clip for old farts that can't squeeze so well ?? I was watching the sts dvd and their clips seem to be longer and it looks like they might be easier to squeeze but I can't find any that look to be that size.

The olympic size clips (which I have) are easier because the levers are longer. I haven't run into any standard-sized clips with those long levers. I have a friend who uses these - http://www.amazon.com/Power-Systems-LJC-ONE-Standard-Lock-Jaw/dp/B003G09XDQ/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1

She hasn't complained about them yet.
