"I recently purchased this jar opener and I've already used it several times—for pickles, canned veggies, and kimchi. It makes opening almost any size jar a breeze. I bought it for a loved one with muscle weakness, but I believe anyone would benefit from having this in their kitchen. Why struggle when you don't have to? It's highly functional, ergonomic, and easy to store."

"The Otstar Jar Opener has been a lifesaver for me, especially since I have weak hands and arthritis. It opens jars, bottles, and cans effortlessly with minimal effort. The grip is comfortable, and my elderly parents find it particularly helpful—no more struggling with tight lids. It's a wonderful tool for enhancing independence!"

"I bought this tool to help open lids, but it didn't turn out to be as useful as I expected."

"I had a jar of salsa with a large lid that just wouldn't budge. After trying hot water and tapping, I gave up for two months. Then I found this jar opener. Hesitant at first due to the price, I decided to give it a shot. It opened the jar immediately with a satisfying pop! Now, I see it's worth every penny."

"I bought this for my mom, and she initially didn’t try it. About an hour later, she sent me a picture of her using it on a can instead of a jar! I had to remind her it was a jar opener. This tool is powerful! It even squished a metal can flat. It opens jars effortlessly and can do much more!"

"I've been using the Robotwist for a few months, and it has completely transformed my kitchen experience. No more struggling with stubborn lids! Just place it on the jar, press the button, and watch it work. It handles all jar sizes, and storing it is easy too. This gadget is reliable and user-friendly—an essential tool for anyone who has difficulty opening jars!"

"I find this device really handy. It opens stubborn jars effortlessly without any straining or frustration."

"While I appreciated the old-fashioned mechanism of this jar opener, I was skeptical about the silicone base pad. Unfortunately, I found it to be ineffective. However, with my Zyliss Strong Boy opener holding the jar, the OXO opener does a great job of removing the cap."

"As an older couple, we needed a good jar opener. My wife has used it for cans, jars, and small bottles. We previously tried another opener that fell apart. This product is well-built, versatile, and requires little effort. Highly recommended!"

"At first, I found this opener challenging. But after a few attempts, I discovered I needed to push forward while turning the handle. Without that, the teeth wouldn't grip the lid, and the opener would just slide around. I also found that wrapping the jar with a silicone pot holder helps hold it steady, as glass jars can be too slippery."

"I have arthritis, and I must say, this is the best device I've ever used for opening jars!"

"I purchased this when I misplaced my older OXO jar opener, and it's even better! The slight design change and the added silicone mat underneath keep the jar from sliding while I work on the lid. It works like a charm and provides the grip and leverage needed to loosen the lids without causing any damage."

"I replaced my old gripper with this one, and it works great for jar opening and grippiness."

"I found two items I really needed: soft rubber hand grips for opening and unscrewing things when my hands don't cooperate, and a handicap-friendly plastic holder for travel."

"These work fine for me, especially when opening water bottles. However, after a few uses, I noticed the perforated material starts to break apart and leaves little green dots everywhere."

"I thought I might use this jar opener on occasion, but it works so well I find myself using it all the time. With my small hands and a bit of arthritis, I used to ask for help with tough jars, but now I can open any jar independently. The twist operation expands easily for larger jars and the gears adjust effortlessly for smaller ones. It also includes a handy bottle opener in the handle. I've encountered defective screw tops, but this tool opens them without issue. It's very sturdy and offers excellent value for the price. This would make a fantastic gift!"

"I purchased this for my parents who struggle with opening jars, and it has been a game changer for them. They find it super easy to use and it opens jars in a flash!"

"I was initially skeptical, but I’m truly impressed! This opener made it incredibly easy to tackle tough lids, even on 1/2 & 1/2 containers that usually require pliers.
