The top needs to be centered over the jar and don't grip it to hard or it will tear wine bottle caps ;-)

Works as it should. We're very happy. We had a jar that neither of us could get open. We left the jar alone until the opener came. In just a few seconds, my Mrs. had the jar opened. It gripped the lid, and the handle was easily gripped as well. Definitely a good purchase.

It is an easy-to-use device that does what it is supposed to do - it gets the jar open.I've used it now on 3 different large tall jars that had very tight lids.It works very well to 'break' the tight-vacuum-seal of the lid so that you can then easily turn the lid to open it with the jar-opener or by hand when reopening that jar in the future.The reason I've given it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it seems to slightly dent the lid so that the lid fits a slight bit too loosely from then on so that you have to be careful not to lean the jar too far over at an angle so liquid doesn't seep out when putting jar into & out of the refrigerator & not lift jar from the top by the lid when you take the jar in & out of the fridge.Great simple device that works!

I've had one for 43 years, so I bought several for ladies in my family for Christmas gifts. They were very grateful to get them. They open wee tiny extract bottles up to very large jars

I chose this one because my grandmother had one years ago that looked a lot like it but it was a lot bigger and a lot sturdier and worked a lot easier. I think the harder the problem is the grip should be on the other side of the device. The way it's set up doesn't give you the best leverage to try to open a jar without exerting a lot of for ce yourself. Mediocre

Simple little jar opener that really works! I use it on baby food jars. It works much better than a rubber strap wrench. This is a better design than the side lever type. Best ten buck purchase I've made in a long time.

It makes taking off jars lids a snap. I have arthritis is my wrists, I could rarely open a jar, especially a larger jar, no matter what I tried. But, with this handy, lightweight, easy to grip little gem, it’s a snap. It is adjustable to the size of the jar, you need very little pressure to clamp down and on some jars, I can hear the seal release before I even start to twist off. Highly recommend.

I have owned one of these for years, brought mine up, to mums the other day as none of her various new fangled contraptions would open a particularly stubborn jar - my ancient Swing Away did the job in a jiffy and with ease, as always. Made of sturdy metal, simple to operate, will open any jar of any size effortlessly and without damaging the lids. Ordered two from Amazon for family members and I was delighted these are still manufactured - long may they be so. A must for every kitchen - You will not be disappointed.

Both my wife and I find this a lot easier to open spaghetti sauce jars that I do nearly daily. It doesn't take much thinking and is pretty intuitive to use. It gives you a LOT more leverage to open jars than you would just grabbing with your hand. And it holds pretty well too. It still requires two hands, one to hold, and the other uses the tool as a lever, and it requires about 90% less effort. Before getting this tool, I started to get shooting pains in my wrist when the jar lid finally came loose and started to seem like I might be causing a repetitive injury. A lever is based on physics, and allows you to spend much less effort turning something by applying force further out from center, similar to a lower gear on a bicycle takes less effort to go up a hill, or what any wrench actually does to a bolt. It seems very sturdy and well made.To use, slide open enough and just loosely set it atop the jar lid. Then slide the handle towards the to take up they slack and the latch under the handle will fall into place at the closest hole, but doesn't need to be tight at this point. Squeeze the handle with one hand to close up any gap and let the two teeth grab onto the lid, even if it digs in a little bit and keep holding. Then turn the lever with that hand while holding the jar with your other hand, and it should come lose a LOT easier than with just your hand. If you want to spend more effort aligning it and less on squeezing the handle, it might be possible to set the latch under the handle into the hole that perfectly sizes for your jar lid (if it matches), and when put on the lid it will hang on by practically by itself.However, it is still harder on sealed jars that haven't popped the lid yet, but easier than by hand. For an un-popped sealed lid, I find the using the tight pin position closest to the lid and squeezing enough to deform the lid slightly helps to break the seal, and then it turns easily. It does leave the two teeth marks in the lid, which still works fine to close and store a partially used jar in the refrigerator. But I wouldn't use this on any lid you want to keep forever. This is meant for a disposable jar that you would use up and recycle eventually, and ok to deform the lid slightly. If I had one complaint, is that the rubber sleeve on the handle easily slips off so I pay a little attention to not pull out on it in use.
