Whia and Wera make excellent tools, but be aware that if you're using them for electronics that their ESD tools are not actually ESD safe.

Could you use something like these Cellphone Straps? They’re only about $2 each and my thinking was you’d just leave them attached by the small end and leave the big loops hanging. You could then just hook a finger or two into the loop to open. I liked this idea because they won’t slip off unexpectedly which I fear is the risk of most things you’d attach each time.

Former landlord here. Also, laws/regulations can vary depending on where you’re located. So, your “mileage may vary”, but… What I learned (the hard way) was that, if the medical diagnosis/necessity was disclosed upfront, the landlord was responsible for making sure the unit was “usable” but the tenant. Basically, a landlord isn’t allowed to knowingly rent to a person who wouldn’t obviously be able to reasonably live there (e.g. renting a 2nd floor unit w/o elevator access to someone who relies on a wheelchair, etc.). The flip side to that is, if they do, then they’re responsible for making the space “livable” to that tenant. In your case, that would mean swapping out the hardware for something more user-friendly to your condition. This would/should be an easy case in court if it ever got that far I would get.

If your condition entitles you to any kind of rental assistance that your landlord receives, reach out to that agency, and explain your situation and ask for a compliance visit. I can almost guarantee it’s be a slam dunk case for them.

Fortunately, the previous posters gave some awesome, easy solutions which would save a ton of frustrations if they work for you because few landlords take it kindly when they get tattled on.

Your question has no answer, so you are going to get a spiral of advice without help. USB, cigarette, USB-C are the inputs. Apple to Samsung to Inductive charging are outputs. There are 10,000 places in 10,000 different vehicles where the inputs, outputs and places to charge your phone vary along with other subtleties like fast charging capacity of your phone vs capacity of the charger.

And you are discounting other options like a portable battery which can be used outside of your car's resources.

I'm sorry but the internet isn't going to help with this question. Buy what is practical for your situation and run with it.

I bought a pair of the captain boots in 2018 and they are the most comfortable boots I have. I do maintain them but it’s 30 minutes of work every 3-4 months. Warm and waterproof in the PNW and they’ve perfectly formed to my foot. No leaks, no loose seams or cracked leather. As long as the manufacturing quality hasn’t changed I would absolutely buy another pair
