For me, it was a left-handed scalloped bread knife.
For years I struggled to cut bread by hand. I watched my dad do it my entire childhood, but I could not cut bread to save my life. Then I got a left-handed bread knife. The scallops are on the opposite side of the knife from a wrong-handed knife.
Yes, though I’ve managed to train myself to twist the knife slightly in the ‘wrong’ direction while cutting to counteract the way it naturally wants to cut. Similar to how you can use right handed scissors left handed if you pull with your thumb and push with your fingers instead of letting them do the natural motion while cutting.
Left handed scissors.
Literal years spent wondering why I couldn’t cut straight lines like my right handed family, wondering why scissors cramped my hand when I used them, all because I didn’t have the right left scissors.
Best $11 I ever spent for being left handed.

A left handed can opener was such a game changer. I literally cross my hands one over the other to use a right handed can opener.
Wait… How does this work? Like, what kind of can opener? The type I have, I would say works with whatever hands you want.
Oh weird, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a can opener like that. Mine attaches to the top and cuts the sides of the can, not attached to the side and cuts the top.
A left handed measuring tape is really nice in theory but actually it often ends up being kind of backwards to how you’d want it if holding the tape in your right hand and pencil in left. I’ve actually heard some right handed carpenters prefer left handed tapes for that reason.
