About a year ago I finally had had it with struggling to open jars by hand and by using my mother's method of banging the jar on the counter and running it under hot water.  Those methods did work some of the time but I knew there had to be a better way.  Asking the hubby was getting more difficult since...

I love OXO products and own many of them.  I bought this to help with my aging hands and the difficulties I have been having getting jars opened.  Unfortunately, it has not worked as I'd hoped.  I find it slips frequently, and jamming it onto the lid to get it to catch in the first place is a hit-or-miss... review »

I use this jar opener nearly every day and have had it for years - more than five. It works well on bottle tops as well and even young children can work it. The handle is large and easy to grasp making it an excellent tool for people with weak or arthritic hands.

This product is inexpensive and very practical.  This is perfect for college students that have million dolllar taste and a dollar menu budget. Moreover, I have small hands so some jars are just too big to open.  Although, it does't fit really really big jars I makes my life much easier.  Anybody that has problems with jars especially those with arthritis will love this product.  I love cooking and this product makes even more enjoyable because I can make all of the dishes I want faster without breaking the bank.

This is one product that has really been a life saver in the kitchen.  I live alone and have difficulty opening jars due to arthritis. 

This has been so helpful I've even given it as a gift to several of my friends and family as part of a "I can't live without this" gift bag.  Most of the items I include are OXO brand.  If it is from OXO I will always splurge and get it, I've never been disappointed.

I got this as a gift and wasn't sure I'd ever use it, but we do. IT gets the lids off if you can't and it doesn't take up much room. No bulky product on your counter top. Never had any problems using it. I was suprised how much I actually like this product. Great gift

For some jars, this tool really grips the lid.  For other jars, not so much.  When it does grip well, it works great!
