Product Description
Ordinarily, opening a jar requires you to keep the bottom of the jar in place with one hand, while the other hand struggles to unscrew the lid. This jar opener has a detachable base pad - put this on your counter and the jar on it, it's not going anywhere now. Then slide the opener over the lid, engage the stainless steel teeth, and do the twist...

 Still need strength! July 13, 2008
Tina C. (Northern California)
I have another gadget that works great on jars that don't have a lip under the lid so I thought I'd try this for those jars (like Classico pasta sauce) that my little gadget doesn't work on...but you still need strength of a muscle man! Maybe I'm doing something wrong but even my husband tried it and said it was easier to just open it with his hands. The "teeth" on this opener just slip...very disappointed.
 STRONG AS AN OX! June 15, 2008

This is the strongest jar opener I have ever owned. In fact, I had given up trying to find a satisfactory one because ALL I have purchased in the past have broken sooner rather than later.
NOT THIS ONE! It is very impressive and sturdy. In fact, I would advise caution as it opens the jar with less work and pressure than one is expecting to have to apply to it. When using for the first time, I would recommend taking it easy. It really does all the work.
The rubber base is also a plus so the jar does not slip around while it is being opened. And it fits into the opener easily for storage.
The directions read that the base needs to be hand washed, while the opener itself is dishwasher safe. Both rinse so easily, however, that I don't see why it would be necessary at all to use a dishwasher for cleaning.
With arthritic hands, this opener is a blessing for me which I have been searching for a long time to find.
Use as suggested - it's super June 14, 2008
Murky's Mom (Sunnyvale, California)
While I can open almost all bottles on my own, there are a few that resist all the usual blandishments - tapping the lid on the counter, using hot water on it, etc.
For even those reluctant jars, place the plastic on the counter to hold the jar in place, put the opener on the lid - presto ... it's almost magic how easily it opens.

For years I have a struggled to open jars and I've tried out tons of tips, tricks, and gadgets. My search for a solution is over. This jar opener is amazing and makes opening a jar of any size a snap.
I recommend this to all the women in my life (young and old alike) and I've already bought it for a few of them.
Nothing made me feel more helpless and frustrated than being home alone and unable to open a jar. Now all I need is an oxo gadget for opening paint cans and I'll be set!

I tested this on two jars and it worked simply and safely. I'm going to buy another one for my parents.
