Lever screw down are readily available, and yes getting into some packaging can be a right problem, Rick

It's just that 1/4 turn taps that you can push with your elbow is some cases are just so easy to operate especially for older folk with arthritis and thin skin they make life just a tad easier.



My biggest issue with modernity is getting the foil top off some Milk containers - the pull off tab is just too small dam it.
We get Lactofree milk for the ferrets, and trying to open some of them is a farce. You can't get your finger through the loop, if you use a spoon handle, it breaks the loop. Once the loop is broken, it's down to pliers. On top of that, if you do get to pull it open, you are holding the cartoon so tight, you squash it and get milk every where..

You have painted a great verbal picture there I'm sure most of us have done that.

I tried to open a can of soup a few months back - it had a pull ring top - yes the ring snapped off when I used a teaspoon as a lever but just enough of a hole to eject some Tomato soup on my T shirt & shoes. I even noticed ten minutes later that my finger was bleeding as well.
