    I recently had some bad flare-ups in my hands and fingers making almost everything impossible to open. At best, if I wait 2 hours after taking Arthritis Strength Tylenol, I can use a 75 year old pair of pliers to open bottles of tea or soda, otherwise, I simply can’t open them no matter how hard I try. You have provided me with multiple tools to help in the kitchen and around the house. Thank you SO much!

    Thank you. I shared my video with my family because we all have arthritic hands. It helped a lot.

    The hemostat/locking clamp pliers are a great idea. Slice Mini reminds me of the '00s gadget that helped unwrap new CDs in jewel cases. 😊

    The pickle key is basically a smaller version of the tool to take lids off 5 gallon buckets. Super smart!

    I remember my late, 92 year old mother, holding containers up and saying " How do they expect an old lady to open this?". Now I am turning into my mother for I say the same now ! Thanks for that most informative tutorial. I am having shoulder replacements soon and your videos have been the best I have seen on CZcams, and imbued me with confidence. Thanks from Darlington, England.

    I have a hard time unscrewing the cap on the half and half container before I even get to the pull ring. There is a click stop in the screw cap and I have arthritis. I also have a really hard time with the Vitafusion push down screw tops. Once I get them open. Never close them all the way.

    • @raffinataonline
      @raffinataonline Před 8 měsíci +1

      Check to see if they're threaded on the top. If so, you can put the lids on upside down and you can screw them closed that way.

    I ❤ this! I want to tell you how much hope you have given me. I felt i had to feel so defeated because i have lost grip strength in both my hands.
    What can you use to open bags like cheese that has rip part on top and a plastic zipper below. ?
    How about bags like potato chip bags to open which i used to grip with both hands and pull open?
    How to open kielbasi or hot dog that has a little corner to pull the plastic open that does not have much if a grip on a corner.

    Prescription med bottles, the kind where you push down the lid and twist, I find these difficult to open.

    • @raffinataonline
      @raffinataonline Před 8 měsíci +2

      Mine have a tab to push & then twist off, but if you turn the lid upside down that portion of the lid is threaded and you can just close & unscrew it like that.

      Me too!!

    • @timetable5601
      @timetable5601 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yes, I have had a few with the tab but most do not. After I finally get the lid off then it can be turned upside down to make it easier the next time.@@raffinataonline

    All very helpful. How would you open a sealed package that you just bought a new curling iron?

    I have a generic brand of meds that come in a box of blister packs of 6 pills. They have arrows showing you to peel open at the corners of each blister and unlike most of those kind of packages this one just will not open easily. I can't get the two layers to separate even if I manage to get a nail between them, it's so frustrating. 😖 I sometimes end up cutting open the blister with my nail scissors. Ugh. I don't have arthritis but I do have weaker hands now that I'm 78, plus a little neuropathy from chemo 9 years ago. It doesn't help when you're tired and it's your bedtime med that gives you grief.🤨

    Does the pickle key work to open the cheese dip (gordo's), because that is on the corner of the container. Or the pimento cheese (palmetto brand) that seems to have break away edges.

    How would you teach toddlers to open cheese sticks or milk cartons? Do some simply not have the strength in their hands yet? Signed, classroom assistants everywhere.
