IMHO...

1. This country needs...an emery board that will last more than 3 strokes on a man's fingernails before being
completely worn out.

2. A band aid that will fit around a man's thumb.....grrrrrr

Years ago I picked up a diamond nail file. It has a coarse and fine side and still will reduce a finger nail to dust in a few strokes. I have no idea what brad it was, but it was pretty cheap. The plastic handle broke off about the third time I traveled with it, but the file part still works great.

Mill file for the nails( lasts for generations)

And duct tape for the thumb bandage.

Be a man!! Just scrape your fingernails on a rock, or the same file you use to sharpen your axe!

What about a drain cock valve that, instead of a manufacturing cost of $.50, they splurge and spend a whopping $.75 or $1.00...SO I COULD ACTUALLY UNSCREW THE THING, BLIND, WITH MY FINGERS.

My small Swiss Army knives has a nail file that has worked great for years.

I like the older style that have the nail file blade coming to a point more than the newer style with a small screw driver at the tip.

For finger nails it is mostly okay, I don't like cleaning my toe nails with a screwdriver.

I'd like to see a bandaid with a wrapping that you could open conveniently when you have cut your hand and your finger is bleeding!

Emergency rooms use a kind of glue to close some wounds instead using stitches. Is that now a common item in first aid kits?

Why do band-aids come in wrappers anyway?

I just use a piece of paper towel and masking tape.

Keeps them sterile.

Thick CA (cyanoacrylate) glue - works great! Back in my bowling days a few centuries ago, there was a product that bowlers used to patch up blisters on their thumb. I think it was called NuSkin (or something like that). I used to use it and it forms a tough skin just like CA glue does - probably the same thing.

The Victorinox "Manager" is my favorite for a nail file.
