Default Cool tools for uncool fingers

Like many others, whether just in an exacerbation or full-time, I have profound difficulty using my fingers. I want to share some tools that help me immensely in daily living and spare me a lot of humiliation, frustration and meltdowns.

First, the Pocket Dresser for buttons, zippers, laces, etc.:http://www.pocketdresser.com/servlet/StoreFront

Next, the Maddox knife which has made dining out doable for me again:http://www.pocketdresser.com/servlet...edKnife/Detail
Attachment 2205

And the Knork, not quite knife, not quite fork:http://www.knork.net/store.asp

Attachment 2206


All of these tools have made life a little better for me and I recommend them to anyone who clings to independence with the same determination.

Please feel free to offer other useful tools to the list!
