I have a good, heavy pair of pliers. I use them all the time, especially now that I'm so damn old and weak. LOL Given to me by a guy I was seeing about 25 years ago.
And about 30 years ago, my BFF gave me a small, very sharp pair of sewing scissors, which I keep in my kitchen drawer. Oh, they are so handy! Handy and pink, you just can't beat that combo. Love them so much, and use them so often, I gave my DIL a similar pair for Christmas.
