Buy Back to Basics 285 Jar Lid Wrench

Customer Ratings:

Over the years, I've developed a bit of carpal tunnel syndrome which flares up now & then, so I have to be careful not to overly strain my wrists when opening a tight jar or bottle lid.

This Jar Lid Wrench by Back to Basics is a life-saver! I use it for for opening vacuum-packed lids, lids that my hubby has screwed on too tightly, and even for the caps on soda pop bottles.

The two sizes on the lid wrench fit everything, and I've even used the long handle area to open the tiniest bottles, like a pill bottle.

I love this product so much that I now own TWO of them, and am going to order one for my daughter's hope chest. (Does anyone even remember what a 'hope chest' is? *smile*)

I've had one of these for over 10 years now, and I'm sure I use it at least once a week on average. Especially now, in my feeble 50s, I have much less strength in my right hand because of an old injury, and the injury gets easily aggravate when I try to grip really hard to open things. This device works better than the rubbery grip pads (which I also own) because the design provides tork -the pads are helpful but you still have to grip hard. I'm so happy to have found this gadget again because we have to equip a second home. So much help for very little money -and pretty indestructable.

I was sure that this would help me open stuff. The arthritis I have in my hands was hampering my normal life! This slid off of every lid I tried to open. I cannot understand how it works for you folks, but for me it did not do the trick. Had to return it. First Amazon return, by the way, and it was easy.

Stay away from this one if you have weak hands.

Honest reviews on Back to Basics 285 Jar Lid Wrench

I do not need something complicated to open a dang jar. I just need something that works! This is it.

It works with enormous jars, tiny jars, every size. Takes very little pressure to open the jars ... just a gentle squeeze and turn does it.

I looked at other openers to replace the old one I had (which was an old one from the 1940s handed down from relatives) and this filled the bill nicely. HIGHLY recommend this.

I have arthritis in both thumbs and found it very painful attempting to open jars of any kind. I bought two of these (one to hold the jar, the other to remove the lid) and have totally eliminated this painful task from my life. These are sturdy and efficient kitchen tools for anyone to use.
