Everyday Living
Hands-Free Electric Can Opener
I own and use this hands-free can opener. It automatically moves around the lid, making it a helpful option for anyone who has difficulty gripping or turning a traditional can opener.
OXO Good Grips Twisting Jar Opener with Base Pad
I use a similar style of jar opener and find this type of tool helpful when gripping and twisting tight lids is difficult. This OXO version also includes a non-slip base pad to help keep the jar steady while opening.
RMS 2-Pack Grabber Reacher Set — 34" and 21"
I own this set and especially like the harder-to-find 21-inch reacher for everyday tasks. The 34-inch size gives extra reach when needed. Both have easy-pull triggers, rotating jaws, and a rigid design that doesn’t bend — something I prefer because flexible grabbers have been less durable in my experience.

BIC Glide Bold Black Ballpoint Pens — 1.6mm
I use these because the ink flows smoothly without requiring much pressure, making them a great option when my hands are cramping. The full grip is comfortable to hold, and I’ve found them reliable without constantly drying out.
