Some time back, I added a tip about using a Big-toothed Comb to open Ventilation Zips, in a Pop-top. [ Like an extension of your arm.] Well, the other week, I found something better, at the news-agent. A back-scratcher. $5.95. It's called a Bear Claw, [for obvious reasons.] and extends to 23 inc...
