As I get older, I am losing a bit of hand strength to open some water / juice bottle caps that are particularly hard to open. I’ve been thinking lately about getting some sort of device to help, but I have not done that yet. I was having a particularly hard time today opening something I really wanted to drink. Even a rubber band wasn’t helping. But sitting on the counter right in front of me was a roll of duck tape, so I wrapped the end around the cap, and stuck it back onto itself, then without cutting it, used the roll as torque to twist the cap open. It worked like a charm!
