A little wedge-shaped thing that opens jar lids without effort (especially now that I've done weight training and have a grip).

What kinds of exercises are you doing for your grip? I use one of those handheld devices that you squeeze, and have managed to finally surpass my partner (now I am the one who opens the stuck jars ๐Ÿ˜ค), but I crave greater gains still.

Either I take a heavy barbell (like the level I can deadlift minus a bit) and roll it in my hands, or I use a special tool I've got that's got a strap connected to a stack of weights where I roll up the strap until the weights are up to the bar, then lower it again by reversing the roll.

These are both BRUTAL exercises, I should warn you in advance.

Oof yeah I can understand that. Anything that works the little muscles burns like hell.

And thank you for sharing!
