Re: I would Please like some support
The easiest jar opener I found at Wal Mart it is battery operated. You just place it over the jar and push the button. You do have to hold a slight hand on it while it tightens around the lid then you can release while it does it's thing. There is absolutely no strength involved. I just love it. There are a couple of small unusual shaped lids it won't open but the rest it is a life saver.
Also my well worn rubber gripper works the best. I bought some new ones that are thicker and slick and they are so difficult, they do not gripe and it really hurts to use. they just don't work I have abandoned them.
Something I found out in the winter is a pair of thin leather gloves works great for opening things. So buying a piece of shammy would also work.

marigail: I ABSOLUTELY will look for that!! Currently I am using just a circular piece of rubber. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't!! Thank you so much! Mari

I thought later that I should include the name tam1: It is called "On Touch" jar opener. You may be able to find it online. It is about 6 " long and 3 " wide with a large button on top with big claws at the bottom all made of plastic. It has been going strong for over a year or so.....

Hi, Loonsong--
Thanks very much for giving us the name of the jar opener and a good description of its appearance! I'll also be looking for it soon.
