Rubber Gripping

Because JulianJ and I both tried to post about this amazing material, I think I finally figured out how to post this image. It's a blue gripping material that you can buy in a roll and cut to any size and shape you want. For anyone who has trouble gripping things, unscrewing lids, picking up things, this is amazing! I've been using it for a long time now and I can actually unscrew lids by myself etc. Then, when it gets a little dusty, I just wash it with soapy water and it's like brand new!

Thanks for trying to post it for me Julian!

I could have done with that earlier when I couldn’t turn the tap off in the shower. Thanks for the info!

I’ve seen it in B&Q (and I think Homebase. ) Lakeland also do a rubbery ‘cone’ shaped circular thingy, great for getting lids off jars etc.

Thanks for the tip .

I could get some and use it to loosen tops then hide it before my family come in the room and make myself look super strong again as I show them I can undo things again.

It's going to come in very handy for undoing my hot water bottle , the curse of my nights .

The copiers can finally get the sack !! 😋😁
