Hi  @Another new name Sue 

How kewl.  I just baked a Pizza and surely could have used this.  Burned my fingers.   Quite imaginative.Thx

I purchased this on a Lunchtime Special for 13.99.  It's a package opener and a mini opener.  Amazon carries it too.  I was using scissors to open packages, so this is a nice replacement.

@JoyFilled Warrior I just bought a Clorox grout brush set from Target to use not only on the grout in my shower but it looked like it would work to clean out the corners in the window sill track of my windows. I've struggled with getting a wet paper towel in them to clean the dust and dirt out. Well, I tackled this yesterday and it was a success.  Best $7 I've spent in a while, lol.

Don't forget handy extendible back scratcher to put in purse for grocery shopping!!!! Im  short and have short arms as well no one around when you need item top shelf so out comes my stainless  scratcher and get most anything way back on the shelf. my daughter saw me use it and she got her one and laughs  when she uses hers.saw one woman with a grapper tied on her belt but I don't one to hit me everytime I take a step.

Grabbers are fantastic, I'll look for the one which can fit in my ourse.

Often I use long and wide spatulas to help getting items from a shelf.

Extra long shoe horns!

I have problems with my left knee and leg, without the xtra long shoe horns I wouldn't be able yo wear a right AND left shoe.

Not to hijack this thread but in addition to gadgets if we could expand alternative uses for items, such as @Alsace Gal mentioned in her post about the shoe horn, we might learn we already have problem solvers on hand.

Nothing like the good ole corkscrew.  I make my husband coffee every morning and he opens a bottle of wine every night.  

I know how to use it, by why should I?

I have two back scratchers that I should use more often on my back.  Thanks for reminding me!

Great 'plus' idea, taking it to the supermarket !!

@pattiewaddle  I have, on occasion, "borrowed" a pair of tongs from houseware section of grocery, used the tongs to retrieve item that I could not reach and then return it to said houseware section. Sometimes the tongs are attached to the packaging with twist ties that I have removed, used the tong, and reattached to packaging.

I also love the grabber. I keep one in the house and another in my garage. I use the one in the garage to pick up litter in my yard.
