Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Jar Opener
Customer Review: Works as well as any other I've tried
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't found a jar opener that works better than this one, even though it isn't perfect. The lever action works much better than the kind that require you to grip the jar lid and turn, but the "teeth" will occasionally slip and scratch the jar lids.Works really well on plastic lids.
Customer Review: This jar opener is terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Unfortunately, this seems to be the only type of jar opener available, other than the largely ineffective plastic grip pads. You will discover that, although it works, it is clumsy in actual use, and worse, it will always gouge metal out of the jar lid, frequently leaving jagged metal edges to cut your fingers. If anyone ever discovers a better type of jar opener, please let me know. Thanks!Customer Review: Just the leverage I need
Summary: 4 Stars
Being relatively young and arthritis-free (at least for now), I don't usually have any problems twisting off jar lids. But, once in a blue moon, I get that one jar that almost requires explosives to pop the top off it. And I hate opening one of these with just my bare hands. Fortunately, I found this little device, which has a good sure-grip handle, which acts as a fulcrum to apply the necessary leverage and loosening force, but with significantly less effort than I would if I did the job bare-handed. Just secure the gripper onto the cap, give it a firm, but not-too-hard turn, and another almost-impossible-to-open jar is rendered easily accessible! The opener's metal gripper teeth do dig into the lids a bit, but never to the point of turning them into injury hazards (danger of cutting yourself on the grooves the teeth leave on the lid) in the cases I've used it. All in all, this labor-saving device is a simple, yet very helpful and highly valuable kitchen helper!

Customer Review: Not what I had hoped for
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used many jar openers in the past, those that lock down or clamp down as you twist on them. All have worked fine. I am however disappointed with this jar opener as it has the tendency to slip and feels a bit awkward to use. Maybe it is because I am used to the jar openers that make you hold them as if you were actually trying to twist the lid off the jar itself; this one is similar to pushing a lever attached to the lid while holding the jar. Not very comfortable.Customer Review: Allows me to open many jars that I couldn't before!
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product. Anything that helps me do something I couldn't before... makes my life so much easier. Ability! I left the red label on it to help me spot it quickly on the utensil rack. Great gadget, easy grip, and...Now, I can do it myself (most of the time, my weakness not the products)!
