No more running jar lids under hot water, banging them on the counter or asking someone for help. This is the perfect tool for easily opening all sizes of jars, from small condiment jars to large tubs of mayonnaise. Our innovative base pad reduces the force required to open a jar. Simply place the non-slip base pad under your jar, slide the jar opener over the jar lid to engage the riveted stainless steel teeth, and twist counter-clockwise to loosen the lid. The Base Pad keeps the jar secure on the countertop so you can focus on opening the jar. The wide, contoured handle lets you choke up to apply downward pressure and is non-slip to improve turning leverage. The non-slip Base Pad securely attaches to the Jar Opener for storage and should be hand washed if needed.
