Jar opener
What is a jar opener?
A jar opener makes getting into jars easier. Most openers work by helping you grip the lid and twist it open.
Large handles, often with soft-grip coatings, make gripping and holding more comfortable, while extra leverage means less effort to get the top off of your jar.
This tool is a great option if you find it difficult to use your fingers, have weakness in your hands or arms, or if you have a hand tremor, fatigue, or pain.
