The Oxo Jar Opener with Base Pad is such a simple,  but convenient product to have handy in the kitchen. My family loves pasta sauce and pickles,  and I find myself often having difficulty gripping the jar lid to open successfully.  The Oxo Jar Opener comes with an easy to grip handle and a graduated jar grip to fit jars of all sizes easily.  I love that this product comes with the rubber grip to place under the jar to prevent slippage upon opening, although this extra isn't always needed.  This jar opener simple slides on the lid and enables you to twist gently for a successful open each and every time.  I purchased one of these for my mom, who suffers from arthritis and neuropathy, and she is over the moon about this product also.   A must have in any kitchen!
