Why add more gadgets to the junk drawer when something you’ve got on hand works just as well?

I've tried the butter knife trick (as well as the hot water trick, etc). See above re hand arthritis, though, even with a butter knife I can find it difficult to grip and can injure myself when it slips. The purpose-built gadget costs five bucks and does the job easily with no injury risk.
