OXO Good Grips Jar Opener with Non-Slip Base Pad, Handheld Manual Opener

Best lid opener ever. Has a silicon pad that can be used to steady a bottle or can that keeps turning when you try to open it.very best that these crippled hands have ever used.

I almost didn’t buy this jar opener because of the negative reviews, saying it would not open a jar and it tore up the lid. However, I saw an elderly lady demonstrate this who does product review videos and it opened jars for her perfectly so I decided to go with her review. I really needed a jar opener because my arms are getting weak. I am very glad that I bought the Oxo one because it works just like it’s supposed to. It’s very easy to use as long as you keep it flat on the lid and slide it until it stops. Then you give it one easy turn in the direction of the arrow on the opener, and it opens the lid very easily. It has metal teeth on one side that may dig into a metal lid on one part, making a small jagged place, but I found it only did that on one lid. It did not tear up plastic lids. So that is the only negative thing I found and it’s something I will just watch out for. Also, I wish it was a little bit cheaper than $15 however, I am very happy with my Oxo jar opener.

Great product — excellent for people with hand arthritis. A slightly longer handle would make it perfect.

This is my go to tool when I cannot open a jar. It provides leverage and jar opens right up.

Works great if you have a hard time with twist tops

For a very long time, I had an OXO jar opener that looked more or less like this (without the ridiculous counter thingy). I loved it. I made sure the divorce agreement specified I got the jar opener. ;) It just worked. I used to slide it on, a twist maybe two, and the lid was off. I never feared having to open a jar without a stronger pair of hands nearby. The years finally caught up to my jar opener, and the metal gripper blade broke. It could not be repaired for love nor money. So I looked for another exactly like my old one, specifically by OXO. After one lid, I knew this product is not meant to easily open jars, if it manages to open them at all. There's very little functional bite to the gripping teeth. It doesn't matter how long you push or twist, the teeth don't magically get more functional. The opposite side of the opener slips just as effortlessly. The rubber bottle/jar grip on the counter has been of no help. In the past 6 months, I've been able to open two lids. Beyond that, I can score a smooth line that strips coverings off the surface of metal and etches a slightly deeper line, and I can make a hash of any plastic lid known to man (provided it fits the opener). I'd be fine with damaging lids so long as I could get them off and they weren't so damaged the jar could at least reseal if I needed to store it against future use. This opener found its way to the landfill. For now, I've been using the floor-banging method for loosening lids, which can get messy and is quasi-reliable at best. And I'm on the lookout for something simple (and non-electric) that can do the job without reducing me to tears. Next on the list is a cabinet-mounted one. My advice ... just don't. Keep looking. [NOTE] If you see a jar opener that has 5 stars with a large number of 5-star reviews and an Amazon "Hot Seller" "Amazon's Choice" notation, check that the review dates aren't all within days of each other. Very few products get a 100% 5-star rating across a large number of reviews. Also filter for verified purchases. If there's only one verified purchase among those 5-star reviews, be suspicious. (I've seen this "practice" while looking at some openers.)

tHIS ITEM IS AWSOME; NO STRUGGLE OPENING JARS ANYMORE

I purchased this for my parent who has carpal tunnel, hoping it would make opening jars easier on their hands. The quality seemed good, the material felt sturdy and well made. However, we couldn't figure out how to get it to work properly. We tried a few different approaches but ended up returning it. Might work better for others, but it just wasn't intuitive enough for what we needed.

Easy to use

Es robusto y de fácil agarre. Muy práctico

Works very well

Groot toestel dat werkt om de deksels van bokalen te openen. Gelukkig staat er een pijl op het toestel zodat je weet in welke richting je moet draaien. Eén keer goed geplaatst is het met het hefboomeffect gemakkelijk om een deksel los te maken.
