Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for May 25, 2024

Hope your health insurance is paid to date.

That’s what the good kitchen shears are for Gray.

The right tool for the right job !

Try a can opener.

Always use heavy duty sissors.

Small garden shears work well on plastic packaging.

I read an article that said a majority of ER visits resulted from Sr citizens having lacerations while opening packaging.

I’d need an EMT scissors to get in to the package with my new Leatherman tool.

Similar situation for me, except I was trying to open some child proof seal on the container for my medication. Three stitches from the ER and all was good…..

Sharp knives open them easily. Dull knives require too much force, slip, and cause accidents.

P38 or P51 would be safer and neater. Just go around the blister, or a couple of edges of it. I think Gray is old enough to have one with his tags somewhere.

Knives are a dangerous tool in a determined job. Saw a couple fingers cut off in my days.

I have a tool, with a handle and a recessed blade similar to that of a letter opener, made exactly for this purpose. Unfortunately, I can never find it when I need it.

I’ve heard a can opener works for that. I haven’t tried that.
