I have found a great technical aid to open canned staple food, with fish, instant noodles, goulash soup, wieners, Coke, Bed Rull, beer and cider.
The Canpull opener was awarded with a design prize, the unofficial Oscar for household items of all kind.
One reason more for an extensive Rollinator test as I always had ambivalent feelings towards designer parts. From experience, unfortunately modern appearance and functionality rarely fit together.
This is not the case with the
Canpuller and Soda Snap
With one side
dog, cat and human food cans
can be opened tetra easily.
A small plastic nose clicks into the ring-pull of the can so that the Canpuller doesnât slip off when it is bent for opening. This is working without problems.
Unfortunately the Canpuller doesnât help against the burning lips if three chilli peppers are displayed on the âdevilâs goulashâ can. I am currently a little handicapped.
The other side of the award winner is suitable to open beverage cans in record time.
Thus you can pass an opened can of Prosecco to your colleague even after the eight successful test series with hop blossom ice tea cans of which the content was professionally disposed into the gorge.
This can opener is a well-thought-out and functional technical aid.

I give to the Canpuller 4,5 out of 5 possible Golden Steering Forks.
Half a steering fork had to be deducted because manual hands-on is still necessary.
Another type of can opener, (see older blogpost).
An ingenious bottle opener, (see older blogpost).

Technical Aids for Quadriplegics

With my buckled Tetra fingers I canât open cans any more.
I think that I might succeed some day with this
plastic bow
.
The can is standing on a non-slip mat (see older blogpost).
The leverage is considerable.
The opener is distributed by the Company Brix Denmark.
The company produces other openers as well.
With this part it should be possible to open an
Eintracht- Frankfurt Adlerschoppe
.
It is incomprehensible to me why the plastic bow is called J-Popper.
Letâs think about it…

Wheeler’s pint
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Frontpage
Donât drink and drive
is a matter of course for us wheelers.
A Hessian brewery has now launched the first
Wheeler’s Pint.
Non-alcoholic and isotonic
all what the body needs.
Side effects such as mocking, sneering, head-shaking and chronic taste definition search are guaranteed.
Resemblances and interactions with beer don’t have to be feared.
Isotonic: Sport drinks having the same mineral concentration like body fluids (Source Wikipedia).
Which body fluids do they mean? Yuk!!!

Quadriplegic Tips XII
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Frontpage
The personal enemy of the quadri-(aka tetra-)plegic is, hardly to believe, the:
Tetra Pak beverage carton
These things are so smooth that it is hardly possible to decently pour something into a glass.
I was owning this
metal holder for Tetra Paks
already a couple of years before my accident.
It was revitalised from my
kitchenware graveyard
and does a good job for me now.
If somebody knows the source of supply of this extremely useful equipment, please send a short e-mail to me.
Have a look on to your kitchenware graveyard, maybe 10-15 pieces are lying around there which you have in excess?

Quadriplegic Tips Part III
Friday, December 11th, 2009Frontpage
Everybody who knew me before my accident knows that I have been a rather
âspiritualâ person.
In the hospital I wasnât able any more to open a bottle of
hop blossom ice tea
(cold beer) due to lack of power.
My colleagues had sympathy with my situation and constructed this special opener type:
ASIFLENGHTISNOTIMPORTANT!
The opener is also excellently suitable as extension for Allen wrenches if the screws on the wheelchair are lose again.

Quadriplegic Tips Part I
Friday, December 11th, 2009Frontpage
We quadriplegics almost all have difficulties with the motor function of our fingers.
With these
silicon caps
you can open bottles and jars without problems.
If you also put a non-slip mat under it the bottle can be opened with one arm almost without any power.
The caps are produced by the company Dycem and I consider them ingenious.
