Electronic keypads have replaced all of the door locks in our home. What a game changer no more fooling with keys!

this is such a great idea! I love that there are different options available now. And, bonus, in addition to no longer having to worry whether or not you'll be able to grip the key, you don't have to worry about remembering where you last put your keys! That sounds like a real game changer, for sure. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

I use a chair to sit on when sweeping or washing my floors. It takes pressure off my knees back and hamds

- I also have a comfy stool at the counter I use to sit and chop things for dinner. I stand stand long enough to cook but at least I can help! Chairs are great helpers.

First and foremost is my 5.5"straight Kelly hemostat; I couldn't run my kitchen without it. I use it to remove the tight safety lids on food and spice containers, pick up or hold in place hot metal objects such as the grid tray in the air fryer, etc.

I'm so glad that you're hemostat helps run your kitchen, !! I've honestly never thought about using them in those ways before, but now I'll have to look into them for myself!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!! If you don't mind me asking, when did you first start using your hemostat?😊 - Abigail, Team Member
