Two-Handed Jar Opener Really Works, Using Leverage & Grip to Open Jars without Pain

- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025Color: RedVerified PurchasePERFECT, this adjusts for the smallest caps and right on up to Large Mouth Mason Jars.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021Color: BlackVerified PurchaseBoth my wife and I find this a lot easier to open spaghetti sauce jars that I do nearly daily. It doesn't take much thinking and is pretty intuitive to use. It gives you a LOT more leverage to open jars than you would just grabbing with your hand. And it holds pretty well too. It still requires two hands, one to hold, and the other uses the tool as a lever, and it requires about 90% less effort. Before getting this tool, I started to get shooting pains in my wrist when the jar lid finally came loose and started to seem like I might be causing a repetitive injury. A lever is based on physics, and allows you to spend much less effort turning something by applying force further out from center, similar to a lower gear on a bicycle takes less effort to go up a hill, or what any wrench actually does to a bolt. It seems very sturdy and well made.
To use, slide open enough and just loosely set it atop the jar lid. Then slide the handle towards the to take up they slack and the latch under the handle will fall into place at the closest hole, but doesn't need to be tight at this point. Squeeze the handle with one hand to close up any gap and let the two teeth grab onto the lid, even if it digs in a little bit and keep holding. Then turn the lever with that hand while holding the jar with your other hand, and it should come lose a LOT easier than with just your hand. If you want to spend more effort aligning it and less on squeezing the handle, it might be possible to set the latch under the handle into the hole that perfectly sizes for your jar lid (if it matches), and when put on the lid it will hang on by practically by itself.
However, it is still harder on sealed jars that haven't popped the lid yet, but easier than by hand. For an un-popped sealed lid, I find the using the tight pin position closest to the lid and squeezing enough to deform the lid slightly helps to break the seal, and then it turns easily. It does leave the two teeth marks in the lid, which still works fine to close and store a partially used jar in the refrigerator. But I wouldn't use this on any lid you want to keep forever. This is meant for a disposable jar that you would use up and recycle eventually, and ok to deform the lid slightly. If I had one complaint, is that the rubber sleeve on the handle easily slips off so I pay a little attention to not pull out on it in use.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Color: RedVerified PurchaseIt is an easy-to-use device that does what it is supposed to do - it gets the jar open.
I've used it now on 3 different large tall jars that had very tight lids.
It works very well to 'break' the tight-vacuum-seal of the lid so that you can then easily turn the lid to open it with the jar-opener or by hand when reopening that jar in the future.
The reason I've given it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it seems to slightly dent the lid so that the lid fits a slight bit too loosely from then on so that you have to be careful not to lean the jar too far over at an angle so liquid doesn't seep out when putting jar into & out of the refrigerator & not lift jar from the top by the lid when you take the jar in & out of the fridge.
Great simple device that works!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Color: RedVerified PurchaseOpens almost any bottle or jar. This is my second one and I will always have one. Bought for myself and 3 sisters.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024Color: RedVerified PurchaseSimple little jar opener that really works! I use it on baby food jars. It works much better than a rubber strap wrench. This is a better design than the side lever type. Best ten buck purchase I've made in a long time.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018Color: BlackVerified PurchaseWe had one of these when I was growing up, and it worked like a charm, but this one has several differences from the older one that make it vastly inferior:
Cons:
1. The total length of the unit is much shorter. This means that there will be poor grip (the main point of the device) when opening larger lids.
2. The width of the unit is much narrower. This means that the grip is less comfortable, and requires the addition of padding to the lever to offset the issue. On the up side, it does allow for opening smaller lids (see pros, below).
3. Speaking of the padded lever, the grip on the unit I received pulled right off when I first opened the device! I fixed it by squeezing some silicone caulk in the grip and sliding it back on tot he handle, but I shouldn't have had to fix a brand new opener that hadn't yet even been used!
4. The sliding part of the jaws used to be curved slightly, minimizing damage to lids. This one can cause indentations from both sides, where as the old one would, at worst, make indents on the one side (unless you applied *way* to much pressure on the grip).
All that said, the new unit had a few aspects that may be considered improvements to some, including some of what I consider to be problems (and have listed above).
Pros:
1. The padded grip might be appreciated by some (assuming theirs doesn't fall off like mine did), especially if using this with wet hands.
2. The narrow width of the device makes it useful for opening small lids (e.g., glue, paint, or medicine tubes).
3. The relatively compact size means it takes up less room in a drawer, and isn't a downside if you only need to open smaller lids.
In the end, while the opener isn't terrible, I'm somewhat disappointed that it isn't as good as the one I remember.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI've had one of these for years and is the best tool I have found for unscrewing obstinate jar lids.
Mine got misplaced in a recent house move. I decided it was worth buying another one. So I did, and it works every bit as well. But of course I eventually found the lost one. I expected that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made to last a lifetime
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI have owned one of these for years, brought mine up, to mums the other day as none of her various new fangled contraptions would open a particularly stubborn jar - my ancient Swing Away did the job in a jiffy and with ease, as always. Made of sturdy metal, simple to operate, will open any jar of any size effortlessly and without damaging the lids. Ordered two from Amazon for family members and I was delighted these are still manufactured - long may they be so. A must for every kitchen - You will not be disappointed.
