My Kitchen Mama opener works on pop top cans, too! No sharp edges or lip for food to hide behind or cut my rubber scraper. My 😺🐈 appreciate every morsel and less rinsing before the recycle bin! me: hEDS with hand/arm pain & reduced strength
My old manual can opener has a bottle opener I use to release the vacuum of glass jars. The metal lid's center pops up and then it's easy to twist off the cap.
After some research I bought myself a plumbing tool called “belt wrench”. Works like magic for opening jars. Very comfortable handle. Not limited to specific lid diameters. For ultimate comfort and safety I actually bought a second one for holding the jar while twisting the lid. I might probably start a jar opening business now 🤔 … Seriously, belt wrench is an awesome tool. Highly recommend 👍
This video almost brought me to tears. I have radiation brachial plexus neuropathy. I’ve been struggling with my hand for over a year and have resigned myself to not being able to do a lot of tasks. My question is how do I find a good occupational therapist? What questions do I need to ask?
I'm so glad it was helpful! As far a good OT, I recommend reaching out to your PCP or a hand specialist to see if they have any recommendations for OT's in your area.
I personally have crippled hands as well as wrists so the jar opener that has different sizes didn’t work for me. I ended up hurting my wrist trying to use it so I just wanted to make people aware if they also have wrist issues. I have a big electric jar opener that takes up counter space but I’m going to get the small one you suggested since it can go with me if I need it. I had tried a couple that were terrible. Need to get that knife. Thank you.
Two requests: Could you add a link to purchase the folding stool please. The other thing... I have trouble tightening and removing the blender base on my large Oster Pro 1200 (about 1cm diameter base). Suggestions?
Bracing can really help with supporting the joint during activity. I love my Push MetaGrip thumb brace for similar issue. I also like a good handle design on kitchen tools like the OXO Good Grip series of products.
So you're lucky enough not to NEED adaptive or ergonomic items. How nice for you. Why are you watching these videos then? Nobody's making you. I mean, are you duct-taped to a chair and being forced to watch?
This was very informative. Newly diagnosed RA. It’s a new world for me and your video will save me months and years of frustration. Thank you.
You are an answer to prayer! Thank you so much

Bought the Alaska ulu a few years ago ! Works great.
Wow, great tools for clients with different diagnoses. Thank you!
That look when you realize you're closing the jar while demonstrating how to open it one handed lol.
Great video!
I swear I’m a professional :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you very much. Very useful tools! Nice video!
Thank you for posting this video. I was able to purchase a few things to make my life easier in the kitchen. Keep the videos coming. 👍

I was just sharing belt wrenches on my Instagram channel today! They are a very versatile tool!
Which one specifically did you buy and where ? I googled this device and numerous come up at different price points and quality levels.
@@msr1116 I bought the cheapest yellow plastic one. Sturdy enough and doesn’t look too brutal. Purchased online (don’t remember which shop exactly)
These are fantastic. Needed a little refresher on AE, as I am an OTA, and your suggestions are wonderful.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words so much!!

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE ROCKER KNIVS
I bought bar b q scissors, supposed to cut thru bones and so forth, use it for chopping.
Me too.
What is the name of the device that is used to pots/pans in place in order to remove the food from the pot/pan? I’ve been looking for it everywhere
Sorry, can't find the inexpensive Dycern rolls you mentioned. If that link is out of date, has anyone else perhaps found a source?
Can you do this for hair tool. Hair curler
Yes, I’ve been trialing with a few different products to see which one I like and how to set it up.
Is there a link, too, for the bag clips to use instead of twist ties? I didn’t see it below. Appreciate the many hints! Thanks, Linda
Sure!

I have a hard time opening Gatorade bottles
I have found a few products recently that work for those types of bottles. Here's a link to my current favorite.

Hi. Do you have a listing, or at least a brand or height for the stool? It's not mentioned at all on the website.
This is a different one then the video, but it’s 18” high and I’ve used them recently for a client and the quality was good.

I do not accept any financial support from any product I demonstrate. I choose based on my experience and what has worked for my clients in the past.
