Product Description

Amazon.com Review

You'll throw away all those other jar openers in your kitchen drawer after using this jar opener by Oxo. As the large, easy-to-hold rubber handle absorbs the pressure from your hands, the sharp stainless-steel teeth grip the jar lid and wrench it easily from the jar with one good pull. With its graduated opening, the opener fits over any lid size and gives you unprecedented leverage to battle the most stubborn of lids.

The Good Grips line features durable, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing processed-rubber handles reduce stress on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, and dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro



Product Description

You know those stubborn jars, the ones that resist every effort to be opened, that leave a wake of jar opening implements behind while you lean limply against the counter in despair? Don't give up! OXO is here! The soft, comfy handle cushions your hand while the sharp stainless steel teeth wrench that lid off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Usually works, sometimes slips. Damages the lid., December 16, 2002
By Aaron Contorer (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The handle sure is comfortable, just as you'd expect from OXO. Unfortunately this jar opener does not work all that well. Instead of gripping the jar lid with non-slip rubber, it grips it with metal teeth. These sometimes slip off rather than gripping. And when they do grip, the usually leave quite a mark in the jar lid -- sometimes even cutting through very thin lids. Often takes 2-3 tries to open a single jar.

Skip this product and instead buy a jar opener that grips the jar lid with rubber or a similar non-skid, non-damaging material.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep Looking, September 25, 2005
By Kenneth Scholz (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The opener is too fragile for the task. The serrated blade is held in place by thin, brittle plastic that is easily broken if one inadvertantly twists or "levers" the handle even slightly up from the plane of the lid - easy to do with a tight lid.

Should you decide to use it, try to keep the body of the opener pressed flat against the cap - easier said than done when trying to stabilize the jar and get leverage on the tool handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars A vast improvement over those rubber pads!, August 4, 2003
This jar opener was one of my favorite gifts from my bridal shower! I was sick of using those rubber pads; not only did they tear easily, but also they didn't work very well. So far, OXO's version has been a big improvement: the little metal grips easily take hold of most lids, and with a simple twist, the lid is off cleanly and neatly. I have found that the unit can sometimes slip, especially with a very small lid, but if you use it carefully and on a firm surface, you should have mostly success, as I have.
