Do some dedicated resistance training for your grip and extensors. Training with something like Captains of Crush grip trainers and Handband resistance bands for extensors will help to maintain wrist and joint health in the hands, wrists and elbows.
If you can pair this with more general resistance training that relies on grip - deadlifts, pull-ups, chin-ups etc. You'll bulletproof your body more generally.

Supplements-wise look at chondritin+glucosamine, it's safe (unless you have a seafood allergy) and has a protective effect in some people (doesn't seem to work across the board)

Others have commented on the physical tools so I'll leave that to them.
