Exercising with Injured Hand?

I had an injury where i needed surgery on the palm side of my fingers on one hand. Now, the scar tissue afterwards has made it so that that hand does not close fully into a fist, so its hard to grab things that are too small in diameter and the pressure also hurts in a way similar to arthritis where it becomes stiff from prolonged gripping.

I want to get back into lifting weights and have been looking at options to aid with this like gloves. Ive looked at gloves with a hook and waterskiing clinch (?) gloves as well that work like this

If anyone has any insight into using anything like this, what would be better for pushing/pulling or the dynamics of how the weight would be displaced (eg on the wrist or forearm etc) that would be very much appreciated.

New challenge ?

I purely thought about doing this because I saw a clip about Mark Henry trying to bend a coin, I definitely can't do that but then I saw the cap and thought I wonder of I can even bend this thin cap lol 😅

Has anyone had experience with this gripper?

This pretty inexpensive (~$15) gripper claims to be adjustable from 11-360 lbs which seems like a huge range for the cost. I can’t find many reviews online; does anyone know if it can actually go up to such resistance or if it is alright as far as quality?

500lbs Double Overhand Silver Dollar Deadlift

Doing this lift specifically for a strongman competition coming up. Though I'd have to pull with straps soon but my grip is still holding on there
