zengxiaoyun® Master Jar & Bottle Opener, Adjustable Multifunctional Stainless Steel Can Opener Jar Lid Gripper, Manual,Kitchen Accessories

GREAT PRODUCT! WORKS EASY! You should never have a problem opening another jar or bottle ever again. This opener works with ease on small caps like water bottles, up to as large as a gallon jug. Face it, as we age jars aren’t as easy to open as they once were, even if you have arthritic hands you’ll have no problems. Every kitchen should have this easy to operate opener. I promise you will be glad you bought it.

Use this all the time, especially for my lactose free milk bottles which are impossible to unscrew by hand when new. Our first one broke after a few months, but I got another one as they are not expensive and I couldn’t manage without it. Most openers cannot handle a small bottle top. This one does great.

Easy to use. My husband and I are getting older and there are some jars we simply struggle with. This is adjustable so it fits most lids (we have not found one that it did not work on), it grips well, and provides the leverage needed to open particularly tough lids. It works much better than those plastic or rubber grippers. Note: it has “teeth” as part of the gripping mechanism and leaves a mark on the lid, not overtly noticeable, but if you have a decorative jar it will leave a mark on the lid. I highly recommend this product.

This device in photographs and in general concept is convincing: finally a tool which allows a person to solidly grip a lid and twist it off. This year I purchased this and a different kind of tool and both failed miserably to do what was expected. I should have paid greater attention to the size and some of the details and maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have wasted my money on this. The jar grip. This is a toothed rim which may work to bite into a plastic jar lid of a certain size. I am not completely sure what it is meant to work with. All I know is that it won't grip any lid I work with. What I thought I saw was a grip made of rubber of great enough width that when compressed against a circular lid on both sides would hang on while the lid was loosened. It is not there. The grip is useless. The lock. This is handle that looks like it locks down and keeps the grip tight while you then move the overall device anti-clockwise (or to the left). This doesn't lock anything. It engages with a toothed surface but does not stay engaged. You can't keep pushing this down to keep the grip while also attempting to rotate the entire device. Instead I was expecting more of a vice-grip sort of approach that allows the grip to be tightened and locked in place. That is what I thought I saw in the pictures. It is not so in reality. The length. I really wanted this for lids which have a diameter of more than a few inches. They are tough to loosen. You need the length to be at least twice the expected maximum jar diameter to get the leverage needed to twist off the lid. The key element to making this dislodge difficult seals is the leverage. This device is too small to accomodate anything but the smallest lids. In short, this device was meant to look like something that should work and fails miserably.

Doesn't seem to work right.

Awesome contraption that totally works as described. My husband bought this as a gift for me because i have arthritis and a very difficult time open some jars . This sweet little thing was perfect ! Pickle jar no problem .. jelly or jam jar? Piece of cake!

Darn thing works to open jars.

Disappointing, concept is good but execution is not. Joints are sloppy. Metal teeth with or without rubber grips don't bite onto metal lids well enough. Tool slips. When enough pressure is applied to grip without slipping the tool bends the lid or cuts into it. I cut a hole in one lid with the tool before it would turn the lid. The sliding part on the two rails is loose and sloppy. The tool only grips at one specific dimension from the top. With some lids this is too short to reach past flip tops or other lid variations. In other cases it is too low and tends to bend the bottom edge of the lid inward instead of turning it. Overall, it looks like it should work great but in reality it doesn't I have to fiddle with it to get it to work and when it does it usually damages the lid.
