Easy Open with a Nutcracker

Due to arthritis it's hard to open bottles with screw tops, and ring pull cans. I use a simple nutcracker (about $3, or free with nuts at Christmas!) for bottles, and I can use it with either hand. Gadgets or special tools can cost from $10 up. For ring pull cans, I use the handle of a tablespoon to pull the ring and lever it up. Saves about $5-$10 for a special gadget.
