Comfort Grip Jar Opener, 7.5-Inch, Adjustable Multifunctional Stainless Steel Can Opener with Gripper, Arthritis Friendly Soft Rubber Grip Handle, Kitchen Accessories (Black)

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.

Easy to use. Non-battey as mechanical. Well pleased. Recommend it.

I don't know why I wasted so much money in buying other jar openers when I should have saved my self a lot of hassle and bought this one first! Works everytime and not a lot of strength needed to open my dill pickles! Prior to this, I still had to resort to stabbing the lid with a sharp pointed knife to release the vacuum before I could open my pickles - but not any more! Easy peasy!

Jars have no chance now all resistance has gone , great for old tired hands

Opening jars easily.

It takes little effort to grip due to the Ratchet type grip

This Swing-A-Way design has never failed to open a jar for me. It even worked on wide mouth jars with frozen-on lids. However, the claws are little small, hard to set on some lids, and occasionally slip off. You first have to set the lever handle into the right hole along the bar which takes some study and time. It doesn't just fall into place. Then, you have to hold the level down very tightly and turn. You do need some degree of strength to operate this thing. I have large hands and wish the lever handle was an inch or so longer. After I purchased this, I found out that this brand makes a larger 8.8" version, but the lever handle on that one seems to be about the same length. It allows you to open even larger jars like you'd find in a commercial kitchen. For my home use, the 7.5" is ok for most jars, but I'd much prefer the longer 8.8" version for extra leverage. I do like the rubber on the handle which makes it more comfortable to grip. Overall, it works well, but a couple of updates would make it even better.

Ouvre-bocal de petite taille et d'apparence un peu "cheap". Fonctionne correctement pour l'usage prévu, mais demande un peu de force et d'habileté, ne se fixant pas sur le bocal. En fait, c'est une espèce de grosse clef à molette sans molette, où l'usage de la force n'est pas requise où l'on croit, c'est-à-dire pour ouvrir le bocal, mais pour le tenir. Malgré plusieurs essais, il semble très difficile de ne pas abîmer le couvercle que l'on cherche à ôter, l'ouvre-bocal mordant généreusement les bords du couvercle. La conservation ou la réutilisation du bocal sont ainsi sérieusement compromises. Du coup, on ne comprend vraiment ce que l'on gagne par rapport à l'ouverture avec l'extrémité d'un couteau sans pointe...

fameux pour ouvrir les pots. J'ai dépensé pas mal d'$ pour ce genre de chose et je m'en suis toujours débarrassée pcq ça ne fonctionnait pas du tout, mais là, je n'en reviens pas de la facilité avec laquelle je peux ouvrir les pots. On n'a même pas besoin de forcer, ça ouvre presque tout seul. Je le conseille très très fortement.

Product was great and functional only that item received part was rusty.
