   Scoushe – April 24, 2013

   In the following paragraph, I’ve written why this is junk. But first, I’ll mentioned that I read EC’s review, where he trashes this jar opener, which broke in two when he tried to adjust it over a Costco jar that has a wide lid. He goes on to recommend it for grammy and people with arthritis. I don’t know how he arrived at that conclusion, since people with arthritis need more help than people without that crippling affliction, which I have. So, if this piece of junk doesn’t work for people with normal hands, don’t expect it to work for anyone else. I often search for items that will help me and that can also be adapted for other purposes. After overlooking this particular jar opener numerous times because it reminds me of similar poorly designed models that I’ve seen at Sears and dollar stores, I decided to give it a test run. It was definitely a bad decision; I should have listened to my intuition.Length 9 1/8″. Largest jar opening: a deceptive 3″. Smallest opening: a deceptive 1 1/4″. I say deceptive because that is what one perceives while the opener is attached to its cardboard retainer. You are also deceived into thinking that the grip is an inch deep when, in truth, it’s only 3/8″ (less than half an inch) as the inner part of the opening grip loses 5/8″ of hold, making it fit unevenly over any jar you try to open, causing slipping and perhaps harm to your hands. In short, it’s more than junk. It’s a catastrophe!I’ve read and written enough reviews to know old reviews for a good product could remain at a website long after the manufacturer decides to skimp on quality and produce an inferior model. The retailer or manufacturer’s associates, paid reviewers, and friends might also submit reviews that are less than truthful. So, the reader reads an excellent review and ends up with a lousy product. I’ve seen such deterioration with Fiskars scissors, the Vitality toothbrush, and a Pentel pen. Somehow, I suspect that this jar opener was always terrible.For arthritic hands and in order of preference I’ve had good results with the following jar openers: the wrench strap style called Power Grip  Power Grip Jar Opening System from Handy Trends (2 PACK) As Seen on TV . I bought a small 4″ long nameless version of this junky Easi-Twistjar opener at the dollar store that has a single 2 1/2 inch opening and it works very well on small jars. I also use it to turn my entrance doorknob, where it works very well. My third choice is the Zyliss 20780  Zyliss 20780 Strong Boy Handheld Jar Opener , which I had to play with for awhile before I figured out the trick to keep it from slipping. Once I managed to solve that problem, it works as well as the Power Grip. Eventually, I’ll buy an electric jar opener and give it a test “drive”.I almost forgot the old Gilhoolie twister jar opener  Twister Jar Opener which I loved when my hands were good; it’s an excellent product that has been around for about a century, varied from the original design, but still great for people without arthritis and perhaps those with mild arthritis. Another good product for people with good hands because it still requires a nice manual grip is the Amco Swing Away  Amco Swing-A-Way 711BK Comfort Grip Jar Opener, Black . Both the Gilhoolie and the Swing Away are mostly metal.If you’re selecting a jar opener for yourself or with someone with a disability, please keep in mind that there are various levels of disabilities; some people are weaker than others, so the best way to find the right product is to give it a test “drive”.

   I have really tiny hands – the exact length of a dollar bill. This means I literally cannot grip the large 5.5″ jar tops of my favorite spaghetti sauce! Besides that, I just don’t have enough turning power on really tight lids.I got tired of only being able to open jars when my husband is home so I got this nifty device. The rubber interior does a great job of gripping the jars. (Sometimes it becomes misaligned and won’t grip until it’s taken apart and re-assembled which is annoying but easy enough to do.)The various circle sizes fit most jars, though I have a few in my cupboard that don’t fit any circle with enough grip. (They are all international sauce jars from the speciality market… so the gripper fits all standard American jars.) It works fine on both short lids (like jelly jars) and tall lids (like salsa jars or peanut butter jars).I also love that it takes very little effort to open jars. Previously I would have to tap really tight jars on the counter or with a butter knife to try to get enough air bubbles to wrench it open. Now any lid tightness is no big deal, the extra leverage makes it easy.Whether you just have tiny hands like me or otherwise need a little extra help with opening jars, this gripper gets the job done.

   I bought this for my 80 year old mother who has difficulty at times opening lids and tops. This does the trick. This opens a wide variety of sizes – from lids of most anything you would have in a pantry to something as small as an the top on eye drops. My mom uses this and it gives her another level of independence so she doesn’t need to rely on someone else to open it for her. She called the other night proud of the fact that she couldn’t open the top to her eye drops, thought she would have to drive to my brother’s house to have him do that for he because her eyes were causing her discomfort. Then she remembered this was in her kitchen drawer. The opener worked right away, even on something even this small.

   I’ve started to have trouble opening new jars and tried a few different jar openers. This one works better than most but I did have a bit of trouble finding the correct position for some of the jars at first. I would definitely recommend it, though

   Great if you have mobility issues! Have used several times to open things! Greatly reduces the strain on your wrists.It is a little difficult to open it wide enough to slip the jar into it you are trying to get to the larger sizes. If you have impaired strength in your hands/arms it might be more difficult to use.

   I purchased this as a gift for my elderly mother who lives alone and doesn’t like to ask for help from her neighbor to open things. She’s said this has worked great for her.

   This product takes up very little room & works great to open different size jars. I was sceptical at first having one of the big bulky electric ones before, but very pleased with the purchase.

   Works well with limited ability to get lids off. Works well with most jars
