KitchenCraft Large Rubber Jar and Bottle Opener

Excellent product does what it is made to do.

Every household needs one of these sometime!This one is good.

I bought my original one about 15 years ago. It finally broke recently-wear and tear. Considering I use it every day, as I'm disabled, that's impressive!!!

This is a strange device. A small wheel with grooved sides can be turned to loosen or tighten the rubber belt. However, there's no locking mechanism to maintain or increase tightness. Neither my wife nor I can figure out how to get this device to do anything useful at all to open a tight jar lid, we get far more grip just using our fingers instead of trying to keep the rubber belt gently embracing the lid edge. And, the returns process doesn't even make available a prepaid return label.

I'd not be without this tough and clever little gadget, which makes light of opening even the most stubborn of screw tops. My liquidiser is very difficult to dismantle for washing, and until I got this gizmo, I used to have to call on my husband to help. Now, thanks to the Kitchen Craft jar and bottle opener, it's easy peasy. Highly recommended.

Can't do without it ! Always did the job and have had it for more than 3 years now.

Having used a baby boa wrench for years, I thought this design would be better because the rubber band is contained in a casing. However, although the rubber band is thick and ridged, which holds jars etc., very well, the band is not long enough to accommodate larger lidded jars etc. Couple more inches length of rubber band and this product would be a winner.

The first Jar opener was returned faulty. The replacement was not big or strong enough to open large jars. You cannot adjust the belt tight enough to grip the lid, and because of it's plastic construction does not give you confidence that it will stay in one piece. I have tried this on a jar with a lid of 4 inches in diameter without success.
