Many good suggestions in this thread. A few other thoughts:
I don't use a changing bag. I wait 'til after sundown and retreat to the
hall bathroom with all the lights turned off at that end of the house. And
I can't remember where I left the changing bag. Anyway, loading reels
inside a bag does require quite a bit of dexterity. I find it lots easier
standing at the counter in the dark without a bag squeezing on everything.
Popping the film cassette end off with a church key is easy. Remembering
where you left the church key last time you souped film is hard - is there a
trend developing here? (so keep it with your tank and other stuff - nobody
uses it for beer anymore.)

With their increasing scarcity the time is ripe to rename it as a
photographic film cassette opener and sell it for $25.
