Paper towel failure and solution

A long time ago I purchased this wooden towel holder not realizing that it is a two handed operation. It requires one hand to hold the top and the other to rip off the sheets. I finally got tired of using one hand to separate the sheets, it always took too long when I needed a paper towel quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I bought a new one. Screwing the screws in first requires you to start a small indentation which I did with my one-handed John Wesley Powell pocketknife. Started the screw in with a few turns of the screwdriver, then used a small Vise-Grip to set the screw all the way down. I don't have a drill and luckily the cabinet was not solid wood but some cheap composite. The screws do come thru the cabinet but I don't care.

Absolutely zero help from my therapists on this.  You are pretty much completely on your own to solve all your one-handed problems.
