Best Answer

The flexor digitorum profundus is a muscle in the forearm that flexes the fingers and holds the handle.
The flexor carpi radialis and extensor carpi radialis longus allow you 'bend' the wrist as you turn the handle.

Why is having 2 bones in the arm better than 1?

The two bones in the forearm allow it to turn better, so it is not necessary to turn the whole arm in oreder to slightly change the angle of the hand. There are three bones in the human arm (radius, ulna, humerus), so the question needs to be revised. If the question was supposed to be why having two bones in the FOREARM is better than one, then the answer is because having two bones is what allows the forearm to rotate. If there were only one bone in the forearm, then we would not be able to do so.
