Description

This handle is designed to help people with a limit use of their hands, open a variety of plastic containers such as yogurt, margarine and similar containers. I can imagine the thin sharp edge snapping on the containers bull nose to be a challenge to open without risking a mess. This tool provides the stability and dexterity to open these types of commonly use containers. Also, a small point on the other side of the tool can cut open the plastic seal.
