Some people have issues that make it so they don't have the hand
strength.

We've had stubby coolers with a twist top remover in the bottom of it for
donkeys years. Sit it on the top, twist, and place stubby in the cooler.

Pain is your friend, your ally, it will tell you when you are seriously
injured, it will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the job
and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain?

It lets you know you're not dead yet!

This thing takes off crown tops too.

I am one of those people who need something to open twist-off
bottle tops. It put what can only be described as a hole at the
base of my thumb and that sucker never got better until I got a
thing with a handle to twist off caps. For some reason my fingers
are not strong enough to open bottles on their own. Stupid
fingers.

Have a look around the $1.00 stores , many of them carry a small rubber
pad which makes opening stuff much easier ( about 4" square)

I tried using a square of that rubberized drawer liner stuff, but
while it gripped just fine, I can't seem to twist a top without
using the base of my thumb. Perhaps I should have tried the
stuff you said. Thanks.

And if you need to do it frequently there have been similar devices
around for a really long time commonly used in bars that sell bottled beer.

Good answer, Dora. This thing I have has teeth and fits over
the top. I don't actually use the handle to turn it, I just push
and turn. Since I can't find this thing online anywhere, I hope
it lasts a long time because I need it. Thanks for the idea.

You just 'dated' yourself, Harriet. At least you didn't call it a 'John

You might be lucky and find the "other" useful tool
No idea to name but basically a handle with a triangle on the end ,
the edges bent in U with small teeth perfect for opening jars n the
like , mine cost less than $5.00

Wayne."

Having hurt my hand several times on non-twist off beer bottles, I never
bother checking and use a church key or other opener unless I'm out of
doors. If you are talking about up-to-date wine bottles, it's worthwhile
always wrapping a cloth around before trying.

A John Wayne is a can opener that was included in K rations in WWII. Also
called a P-38. See entry in Wikipedia for details. I have one on my keychain
now, and haven't been without one for years.

Interesting. I'm retired Army, have been carrying a P-38 since 1966, and
I've never before heard it referred to by that name.

During my Army years, and in multiple tours in Vietnam in particular,
calling something a "John Wayne" would not have been a compliment.

My husband is also retired Army and never called it anything but a P-38.
I'll have to ask him if he's ever heard it referred to as a "John Wayne"

According to Wikipedia, it was the Marines that called it John Wayne.
