It is very easy to use, and it works very well. It has proven to be durable, and it is not heavy or uncomfortable in my hands. I highly recommend it. Read more

Very easy to use and works well. My husband has arthritis in his hands and finds this very helpful. I probably should have purchased two as he keeps it by his chair so it's handy for him. Read more

Bought these for my 85 year-old mom who lives in her own apartment and was frustrated having to go and ask people to open items. She said she now feels like she's super strong and so far, can open anything that she needs opening. She can't believe how easy it is with these openers and aqua blue is her favorite color! Best gift ever. Read more

this was good at first and definitely helped with the issue of opening bottles and lids of my jars. But the grip got harder over time, but overall it helped with speed of opening. Read more

After partially rupturing a tendon in my right hand a few months ago, I have more difficulty opening jars now, and have tried various jar opening devices. I saw this one in a review posted by Consumer Reports, written by a young women who lost the lower part of one arm and has to do everything one-handed. She recommended (and demonstrated in a video) how she uses this to open jars. Very impressive. It has several openings to fit various sized jar lids, and also comes with a smaller device for bottle lids and a 6 inch diameter rubber mat for a non-slip base to keep the jars in place. The only thing I found difficult is the need to be able to grip the handle to keep the opener closed around the jar lid. I guess I am going to have to learn to use my left hand for that due to lack of hand strength and trigger finger on the injured hand, but still, this is the best jar opener I've found and I would recommend it. By the way, one trick I learned (and maybe everybody already knows) is to take a dinner knife and gently tap the handle around the lid in several places first before trying to open the jar. It seems to loosen the seal enough to make it open more easily. Read more

So far, it hasn’t opened anything. Didn’t work on larger lids. Actually the plastic started to rip from the pressure of the metal lid. And the smaller caps didn’t open either. Was awkward to balance the bottle and the opener at the same time. Even using the counter to support the bottle it slid around. The plastic opener was too slick and too hard to open anything either. It’s just a round piece of plastic. Read more

I hate the way it is marketed. “Seniors with weak hands, arthritis.” NO. If you’ve ever had a hard time opening a jar ( and who hasn’t?), this jar opener is for you. No effort required. I have two other types of jar openers, but this one is far superior. The only con is that it’s large (but that’s why it’s easy) and takes up more space than I would like in my drawer. Also, the silicone jar gripper (the flat item) is larger and more substantial than my other ones, making it more helpful than the others. Read more
