My home is chuck full of every size jar you can imagine.  Like most people, opening those jars can sometimes require the strength of bodybuilder and the multiple arms of an octopus!  Well not anymore!  I just started using the OXO Good Grips Jar Opener with the included silicone base pad.  You simply hold the jar on the base pad which keeps it from moving and with the turn of your wrist counterclockwise, eureka the jar is opened!  The oversized rubber handle is so easily grasped and in case you forget which direction to open the lid, OXO has an arrow cut-out pointing it in the direction to turn.  In addition, so you don’t lose the base pad, there is a handy-dandy slot in the back of the jar opener that the pad slips right into for easy storage!  I’m so happy I no longer have to struggle with opening jars!
