        I’m hypermobile but most people can do this with practice, especially with bottles. Its actually an essential part of aseptic technique in microbiology labs when drawing from a bottle or sample container.

          Yeah, this was a huge convenience thing as a chemist. It’s not as useful in day to day life as caps on drinks etc tend to be too tight, but I still like to use it when the opportunity arises.

            I use it a lot when I’m driving if I have a bottle in the drinks holder. I’ve had quite a few funny comments from people wondering how I do it so easily.

    I can open and close a milk bottle with the hand holding it. Learned this is an office where the nearest counter to the fridge was way across the room.

        1000030788 Maybe I’m even weirder than I thought but it didn’t seem too difficult to me, but finger grip strength and side of finger skin toughness and grippiness probably make a big difference. Instead of coming from below the pinky is attached normally and wraps around just below the factory seal ring. Instead of on top, index and middle finger both oppose thumb for more torque. Hold with bottle upright on table with slight downward force if the initial turn is too tight.

        The other image after closer inspection I don’t even know what its meant to be. At first I thought is was a syringe but the blood donation clinic nurses single hand triple wield that shit easier than I can syringe feed a parrot that could bite my fingers to the bone. It says screwing motion but I have taken apart and assembled so many things without the proper tools or clamps, behind object towards self screw driving without magnetic bits, etc., and I can’t think of a single situation where I would do that even if I had alien mirror hands.

    Might be useful for someone with a disability. My husband has access to like…1.5 hands so this would be cool!

    This a solved problem. The solution is called the electric screwdriver. If you want one as a prosthetic, go for it.
