This device is uselss; does NOT open jar lids unless they're already loose.

This is the first OXO product I've been dissatisfied with. Unfortunrtely, this jar opener is useless. I purchased it to replace an old OXO jar opener that I've had for years, but has somehow disappeared . The old one had "jaw teeth" on both sides, but this new one has the teeth only on 1 side. The other "jaw" is polished metal, so it has zero grip surface. Even moderately tight lids will not open with this device. It slips long before the lid moves, no matter how hard I squeeze it. I asked my neighbor, a younger very athletic man, to try it, and the same thing happened. He squeezed so hard he thought it may break, but the device slips, and the lid does not turn. He was easily able to open the jars with only his hands. We experimented a little, using less squeeze-pressure, then more pressure, but nothing worked. Jars of olives from the fridge would not open. Jars of honey would not open. Mason jars would not open. This device is useless, except maybe as a paperweight.
Needs more strength than I have.

I love oxo products, and I am so disappointed in this one. I read all the reviews about how easy it is to open jar lids and I ordered it. An injury requires me to have help with doing that right now. But it doesn't open hardly any jar lids! It's hard to push the v-shape onto the lid hard enough to make it grip, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to the type of lid it will or won't open. The gripper pad to hold a jar on the counter is really of no consequence. You know how jar lids are! Some of them are easy, some of them are nearly impossible. This opener just plain doesn't work and now it just takes up a lot of space in my drawer. I'm very disappointed.I truly need a jar opener right now while healing from an injury to my right arm. I don't understand why so many people find this to be a helpful product.
No batteries needed, silicone pad holds jar in place while you use the opener to unscrew it. Perfect!

I have arthritis in my thumbs and little strength in my hands. The combination silicone mat that you set the jar on and the teeth on the opener made it easy to open a large mouth (mason jar size) jar of peaches I got at Costco. There is no way I was able to open it myself...I tried and it didn't budge. The bonus of this opener is that you can also use it to tighten a lid. The opener is flat and takes up little room in a drawer. I already had an electric opener and pretty much hated it (now I can give to Goodwill). It was battery operated and bulky. I kept it in a cabinet and every time I bumped it, it would start whirring as it opened up. It was also *very* slow to either open or close...I was almost tapping my foot with impatience every time I used it. I'm a big fan of OXO products, and this jar opener is no exception...great product!
Simply didn't work. Teeth slid and scraped jar lids but would never "bite". Maybe we got a lemon?

I read all the good reviews about this gadget. But when we received it simply did not work. The teeth would not grip any of the lids for any of the jars we tried it on. They would just scrape and slip on the lid no matter how hard we pushed the jar into the wedge shaped area. Many reviews suggested people with severe arthritis might not be able to use this but we are young and able bodied and the device simply would not work. I have had good experiences in the past with OXO products and for this reason I had chosen this tool over the other highly recommended jar opener I found on amazon. I was sad to find this would not work for us on any jars. I do half wonder if we got a lemon and most of these work and some don't. I really can't say. But rather than try another one, I'm going to test out the other jar opener I found on amazon instead.
They ruined a great product!

Beware that most of these great reviews are for the EARLIER better model! I have owned 3 of these and given many others, nevr had an issue except after several years of heavy use they break at the handle. But i always bought a new one as it was well worth the small price. Well my latest purchase revealed a redesign...shorter handle which = less leverage, they removed the soft fins used on most oxo handles which = less comfort when using and they redesigned the actual teeth mechanism so that it no longer even works on jars that may be tougher to open. The new pad is useless if the tool doesn't grip the lid, as it failed to do with a simple 3" jar. Very sad to see oxo make these poor choices. I had to buy another opener with a different design just to open some of my jars. I have a very weak grip due to osteoarthritis in my hands, so this is a real letdown. I will dig my old one outnod the garbage and try and repair.
