Others are excellent at selling drooling fools "insanely overpriced

I've bought a few things from Lee Valley. I'll most likely buy a few
more things. But, I'm no chump and will not pay $10 fer something I
can probably make out of a wad of chewing gum.

Wait a few weeks and you may find them at the Dollar store.

A few years ago I bought a few jar openers. Liked them so much I
bought some to give to friends. Went back for more and the price
jumped up too high

I'd gladly pay about $4 for it, but $9.95 is too much for a piece of
bent metal.

Looks like you could make something that would do the job--maybe from
soft steel, which is pretty cheap at the hardware store.
