Apothecary Products Pill, Medicine, Vitamin Container Opener | Easily Open a Variety of Storage Vials

The local CVS pharmacist used one of these for another person's child-proof pill vials. I watched and was amazed. Never knew these tools existed. So as soon as I got home, I ordered one. I used it on 5 vials and one cough syrup bottle. Removing the vials' outer closure was not so easy because there is little or no space between it and the inner closure. However I quickly learned the procedure and removed all 5 vial closures without breaking anything or bending the tool. I also removed the outer closure from a bottle of cough syrup but will not do so again. For some reason, doing this results in the the inner closure no longer forming a liquid-tight seal. But it works so well on pill vials that my only regret is not knowing about this simple tool years ago.

This seems to be a pharmaceutical grade medicine storage top removal tool. It is sturdy and easy to use. My only complaint was that there seemed to be a shipping problem, as the device took 3 days longer to arrive than was estimated. The tool itself works well and looks to be exactly like what I have seen at the local pharmacy.

A perfect GIFT FOR YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS, or someone who has arthritis, or who lives alone without any danger of children opening a poison or medication. This tool is perfect for those of us just annoyed with child-proof caps. Ever struggle in the middle of the night to open a bottle of pain reliever? This tool ends that!

Great idea

This item isn't strong enough for it's intended use. The neck bends out of shape before the lids you're trying to remove even get loose from the bottom lid.
