I love the as seen on TV one. It attatches to top of can, easy to hold and

leaves no sharp edges.

Available in walmart, walgreens etc.....

Hey gang- I need to get an electric jar opener. I have learned there is a

downside to throwing them across the room in frustration. ( The jars, not the

opener- LOL ) Do any of you know a GOOD one that won't go feet up after 20 jars?

Thanks-- Chris

I for the longest time had one from black and decker. It lasted me about 5 or 6

years.

Black and Decker makes one and I have seen it at Wal-Mart under $20.

I have the Black & Decker® Home Lids Off, I have had it for about 3 years -

still working with not problems. I love this - it really has made my kitchen

time easier.

I've had my Black and Decker jar opener for a few years, and it works great.

I don't even try to open a jar without it anymore

I don't know of an electric one but try an automotive store and see if they have

the filter wrenches that are flexible. My husband got me one that the band is a

rubber material and adjusts to different sizes. It is meant for oil and air

filters but I can pull it snug against any jar lid and can pull it open. It

works fabulously.

Dalanne- thanks for the tip! I'll give it a whirl. And thanks to all that

responded.

 

in SC- who can't open a jar anymore.

Hey Chris- I found something very much like the filter wrench I mentioned

earlier. It is on eBay and is called a " Power Grip " . It is listed under the Home

& Garden category and comes in a pack of 2. A package of 2 is less that $15

including shipping. I'm going to be getting myself a couple of these sets as

backups for my filter wrench. Knowing my son? When he figures out what it really

is he will take it out to change the oil in my truck.

Anyway, I ran across these while I was looking for another filter wrench like

the one I have and thought these would be a good substitute.

Dalanne- thanks! I'll give it a whirl & see if it works for me. I have become

rather inventive as this has gotten worse over time. I had to tighten a cheese

press and simply couldn't. So, I called the dog over & snapped on his leash. I

put the handle part over the handle of the screw tightener and tossed his ball

across the room- Viola! Lest anyone think that he choked at all- he didn't. I

angled it so the leash would slip off as soon as it tightened. Mission

accomplished. I did have to have him break it loose for me again when it had to

come back off. Too darn bad that he doesn't have opposable thumbs so he can just

open the jars for me too! LOL. Or make cheese for me when I am tired....

 

Thanks again. Much appreciated--
