RA Reviews

Welcome back to RA Reviews, we hope you are all well.

This week we have two products to share with you.

The Nimble (one finger cutting tool), and the keywing (key turner)

The Nimble

The first one we will be talking about is the" Nimble"

What is a Nimble? I hear you say, that was my first thought as well.....

The Nimble is the same shape as a thimble, hence the name but it isn't used for the same activities, the Nimble is for opening post, parcels, scoring card and so on, it fits on your finger the same as a thimble which means you can use it on any finger, it's really light, and has a good grip too. it also fits comfortably to the finger, so feels very secure, so you don't feel like you are going to lose it. I gave it a go, and mum also did and she was able to use it easily even when her hands were having a bad day, which was brilliant.

The Nimble is able to open the various items because it has a very small Zirconia ceramic blade, which you can hardly even see, that easily and safely cuts through plastic and paper, its ambidextrous and only weighs 6 grams.

We loved reviewing this item as it's something we have never used but can see this being something that we could use, save trying to open things with a knife or messing around with scissors.

The Keywing

The "keywing" is a small aid, that helps people to be able to open their doors easier when using a key, it comes in two parts, with a sticky strip inside that you stick your key on to, and then simply put the keywing back together, which is very easy to do, once you have done this you can put your key back with your other keys, so now this key will be very easy to tell apart from the other keys, and you will have a far better grip to open your door with as well as it has round grippy parts that makes it easier not to drop the key which is handy, and they come in different colours, it's easy to place the key into the keywing as well .

One thing we did find is that it works very well with doors where the keyhole is flush or just has a slightly raised door frame near to your keyhole, but if you have an old-fashioned door where you have a lip under the key part to pull the door towards you, then the keywing won't fit I have left a picture so you can see what I mean. apart from that, this is a very worthwhile thing to have if you have arthritis or have any trouble using your fingers, especially if your hands get cold.
