If you’ve ever tried to open a jar with a tight lid that you can’t get off, you know how infuriating it can be. I recently purchased a different version of a jar opener that is rubber and plastic with 3 different size holes, cheaper but totally useless. So when I seen this version of jar opener with the base pad I was intrigued if it worked better. It definitely does.  I opened a jar of spaghetti sauce, no banging first to loosen it and no fighting with it to open. So much easier then my previous one. Definitely a tool worthy of my kitchen drawer!
