This button hooker and zipper puller could ride to the rescue if you have arthritic fingers, a broken arm or a stroke that limits movement and dexterity.

The fastener secures difficult buttons, be they tight buttonholes on new clothing or even tiny buttons on children’s clothing and it makes gripping zippers much easier.

It looks a little odd until you watch the accompanying video and realize how clever it is. (Though, of course, EVERYTHING looks easy when a trained video model is selling it on a shopping channel.)
