This jar opener screws to the underside of a kitchen cabinet and grips lids in a double U-shaped groove, so you push the jar up into the V and twist the jar itself rather than fighting the lid. Because the tool holds the lid still, the job takes one hand and almost no grip strength, which is the whole point for anyone with arthritis, a wrist injury, or reduced hand strength. The two groove widths cover everything from small spice jars to large pasta sauce lids. It installs with screws and sits out of sight when not in use. Best fit: seniors, anyone with arthritis or carpal tunnel, one-handed cooks, and small kitchens where a bulky countertop gadget is not an option.

- Mounts out of sight under a cabinet instead of living in a drawer
- No batteries or power needed, so there is nothing to charge or break
Cons
- Installation means putting screws into your cabinet, so it is not a good fit for a rental you cannot drill into

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to drill into my cabinet to install it?
Yes, it mounts with screws to the underside of a cabinet. If drilling is not an option, this is not the right style of opener for you.
What lid sizes does it handle?
The double U-shaped groove covers a wide span, from small spice and jam jars up to large pasta sauce and pickle lids. Very wide restaurant-size lids may exceed it.
Can it open bottles and twist caps too?
It is built for threaded jar lids. Narrow bottle caps do not seat properly in the groove, so keep a separate opener for those.
Does it work if I only have use of one hand?
That is the main reason people buy it. Because the tool grips the lid for you, you only need one hand on the jar body to twist.
