Quick questions
What should I try first if my grip is weak?
Start with positioning and friction—dry hands, add grip (rubber mat or jar gripper), and avoid “white-knuckle” twisting. If lids are the main issue, a simple opener can help.
Are these tools one-handed?
Some are, some aren’t. In each guide we point out options that work one-handed and options that work best with two hands.
