Otstar Jar Opener Bottle Opener and Can Opener for Weak hands, Seniors with Arthritis and Anyone with Low Strength, Mutil Jar Opener Get Lids Off Easily (Blue and Grey)

I do not recommend getting old. Your body betrays you on an almost daily basis with one malfunction or another. Frankly, it sucks. Over the past year or so I’ve developed a little arthritis in my hands which can make even opening a small jar of olives a near herculean task. But this simple, dirt cheap, product makes opening the vast majority of jars a breeze. Just slip this gadget over the jar, squeeze and twist, and it will open with ease. It’s made of a pretty durable plastic and silicone, and it’s light weight. So much easier to use than running a jar under hot water or trying to break the lid seal with a butter knife.

i have fibromyalgia and it can be impossible for me to open some jars. i've had a jar of pickles in my fridge for a little while and i've been really craving them but just couldn't open them, the lid was too tight and it was too painful for me. so i ordered this, and it opened it very easily and i could finally enjoy my pickles. this is will come in handy for a lot :)

I gave it 5 stars because of the design. It is still difficult for smaller weak hands to spread it apart enough to fit over the larger lids. It does work but you may need to work with it a bit and/or get used to the process.For you mechanics out there a large adjustable pier like oil filter removal tool works well.

This is a tried and true design but this particular version is a little too msall at the big end. It works fine for bottles and small jars but was helpless opening a jar of Talenti gelato--- the gadget was about a quarter inch too narrow to get around the Talentia top. Our previous very similar version of this same gadget was big enough to do that job. We assumed this one would do the same job but it doesn't. We'll keep it because it's fine for small jobs, but still disappointing.

I would give this item 10 stars if I could.I bought a gallon bottle of water the other day and I couldn't open it! I tried all ways and I'm not the delicate type. I usually do a lot of hard stuff around the house and garden. Unfortunately it's one of those simple tasks that remind you that you're not fifty anymore... I had to leave the gallon water aside and open one of the single bottles instead.Then I found this item on Amazon and I decided to give it a try. I'm soooo pleased with it! I immediately grabbed the infamous water bottle and I could open it with zero effort! It was just as if it was already open (and it wasn't).I'm also tickled that it has a feature for opening beverage and cat food cans. Those that you have to lift the flap. I have been using a knife for that, but now I have a dedicated tool that will open anything for me. I can't wait to test it on all sorts of cans! It's like having my young hands back and more!

I'm going to be honest (as if there is any other way in reviews). At first, I did not like this product. It didn't seem to help and it didn't seem to work for me. With some time and additional attempts on different products, I've come to actually appreciate it. This tool has gotten me out of a jam a few times. It takes a little practice and a little patience, but in the end, honestly, it's been helpful more than a few times. I have to give credit to the tool.

I had an old lid opener thingy, but it got taken. And this is all I could find. You have to grip so hard, that sort of defeats the points of having something that grips for you. And then the discrete sizes means somtimes its too small, sometimes too big. This thing is ok, but doesn't inspire confidence the way my old-school opener did. In evolutionary terms, this one is heading towards the trees and not the space rockets.

Got this bottle opener for my wife and she absolutely loves it. It makes opening those stubborn bottles and jars way easier for her - no more struggling or asking for help. It’s a simple little tool, but it really does the trick. If you deal with tight lids or slippery caps, this is definitely a game changer.
