Oxo Good Grips Jar Opener

You know those stubborn jars, the ones that resist every effort to be opened, that leave a wake of jar opening implements behind while you lean limply against the counter in despair? Don't give up! OXO is here! The soft, comfy handle cushions your hand while the sharp stainless steel teeth wrench that lid off.

You'll throw away all those other jar openers in your kitchen drawer after using this jar opener by Oxo. As the large, easy-to-hold rubber handle absorbs the pressure from your hands, the sharp stainless-steel teeth grip the jar lid and wrench it easily from the jar with one good pull. With its graduated opening, the opener fits over any lid size and gives you unprecedented leverage to battle the most stubborn of lids.

The Good Grips line features durable, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing processed-rubber handles reduce stress on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, and dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
