content: Finally broke down and bought one of these gadgets after graduating to a hard cast on my hand for torn ligaments. The initial first use was tricky, but with careful patience, it worked great! And continues to do so. All the rubber grippers, etc. -- including from my arthritis doctor and the hand specialist -- are no longer cluttering my kitchen; this is the only tool I need. The man of the house also likes it, and it withstood his first use of manhandling just fine.
