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

I’ve tried many jar openers that didn’t work so when I got this I was skeptical. But I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a little challenging to figure out but once you get how to place on the jar it works great! It’s opened every jar I’ve used it on and with little effort. I’m so glad I finally found one that works!

Needed a jar opener for aging seniors with weak arm and hand strength. Most devices are slightly tricky until you get the hang of it, especially since you usually need one hand on the device + the other holding the jar. Decide to go with Eazy Off.Sharing some observations after testing these devices:EZ Off Jar Opener for Weak Handshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X6K9J8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsAllows two hands to grip the jar. Probably get the most leverage if you place device where arms can fully extend, or on a lower cabinet shelf where elbow is almost 90 degrees, which also allows a little body weight to help keep the jar in place. Find a shelf that's not recessed so you can actually see the edge of the device as a guide to insert the jar.OXO Good Grips Twisting Jar Openerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZC55TP2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsWide spread of teeth on both clamps to grip the lid. Worked on an assortment of lids. Not easy for seniors with weak arm / hand strength since the offset handle still needs some strength to create leverage, and still need a hand to hold the jar (unless you get a partner to help). For this device, you need to pull (or twist) the handle while still pressing the center spindle with your palm to avoid the device slipping off the lid. Giving it 4 stars because it feels like a solid OXO design except not good for seniors.Master Opener Adjustable Jar & Bottle Openerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L12PRDZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsRatchet-like design that works but dimples (bites) both sides of the lid. Ratchet provides good clamping force to open the jar. Teeth only one side of the clamp. Need to ensure both sides of the clamp are against the lid when you close (grip) the ratchet, otherwise device slips off. However, not the easiest device for aging seniors with weak arm / hand strength.Jar Opener Can Opener Bottle Opener for Senior, Arthritis Hands and Anyone with Low Strength, Arthritis Jar Opener Get Lids Off Easilyhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z8CTTYF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsDespite assortment of openings on this device, it was still awkward figuring out which one would fit a Classico spaghetti lid. Requires some wide handed grip strength so not ideal for aging seniors with weakening hands.

Good Adjustable Bottle and jar opener for weak or elderly.

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.

Does not work that well

Works great. No more fussing with jars. Great gift idea.

Works great

Worked a few times, and then didn't. The mechanism to lock onto the lid is a poor design, flimsy, not reliable. My wife told me to toss it into the trash.
