Summary

update 6/21/16 Meeting with express scripts Thursday with a slightly different prototype to see about getting this on the market. Will make a more updated update afterwards

update 2/25/16 so apparently this was considered cool by some people and it got mentioned in this article: http://www.edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/2016/02/student-3d-printing-designs-help-those-disabilities-tackle-daily-tasks and http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2016/02/15/5-student-designs-that-prove-3d-printing-is-reshaping-education.
If you want I can post a video demo of how to use it, just say so in comments

So my father has MS, due to this, one of the small nuances he has is opening regular pill bottles. Now rather than making dozens of new pill bottles for him, I decided I'll start working on making a tool to help him open the freak'n bottle. In the new version it works with the 90 day bottles as well.

It works by gripping either the bottom or the top of bottles. Personally I think it works best placed on a table with the bottle your trying to open on top of it.
