Don't know if it is just me but I just cannot get a package open without my "survival tools"...I was trying to open an eye pencil and I got SO frustrated just trying to cut the plastic ...then the directions on most items are so small that even with my bifocal eyeglasses they are unreadable..out comes my "cheater" and better if this magnifier has a smaller magnifier on it..I have a whole passel of these magnifiers placed in my various rooms....What I've discovered is that ordinary scissors are not quite strong enough for todays packaging.....thus the Leatherman and Swiss knife with their many blades...now I am not real proficient with these either so when I have finally gotten the pkg open ..I am busy trying to stem the bleeding from the cut and then   try to  open a band-aid...and without "contaminating" it get it secured on the injury ...I usually end up with the bandaid stuck to itself and then adding another bandaid to hold the first one in place..I just don't remember this being so difficult....
