The product receives positive feedback for its quality, ease of use, and value as a kitchen staple.

Decorative and Useful
This nifty jar and bottle opener does the job at a value price. Nothing fancy, just works and looks good doing it. Sustainable product too. Recyclable.

Saves my hands
As I’ve gotten older I’ve lost strength in my hands. It’s not as easy to open stubborn jars. I keep this handy and can easily open the most difficult jars with ease. It’s bright red so it’s easy to find and it’s the perfect size and thickness for jars. The design allows for a no slip grip. There is no off gassing. It has worked every time! For the price you can’t go wrong

Not as good as I had hoped
I already had a nifty rubber lid opener. I wanted another to be able to hold one to a canning jar while I also hold one to the lid. (The lids in question are the plastic with a silicone seal type, used for storage, not canning. PS, they are GREAT! They *really* seal! lol)My already existing lid grabber is a nice thin, but not too thin, rubber (I assume). It has lasted for years. I wanted that one again since it works so well.I bought it in a store and have been unable to find them again. I thought it was this same gripper, so I bought this one from Norpro, (1) not realizing it was silicone, not rubber, (as I had been looking at so many lol), and (2) not realizing how much thicker it is than the one I have already.So far it does not seem nearly as useful as the other one. It seems too thick to get a great grip on lids or jars, even with the nifty tread on it.When this Norpro one used on the jar, if the jar is cold from the fridge, it doesn’t grip the jar well, just sliding in your hands. But it is too thick to easily use on the lid instead. It isn’t much better with room temp jars.I have had a better time just keeping those thick asparagus rubber bands on the jars and holding the jar between my legs and hoping I don’t spill or drop the jar as I use my old gripper on the lid.I was hoping for a more useful fix when I bought this gripper, to replace my rubber band method, as I am going to eventually drop a jar this way, I am sure.I am hoping that this gripper just has a bit of a learning curve on grip, as silly as that seems for a jar gripper!Wouldn’t buy this again, and would have bought the off brand, multi pack, thinner ones here on Amazon.

Multiple uses.
We use it for opening jars and under slippery plates when cutting a roast so the plate doesn’t move. Also we use it for a trivet. It really didn’t have much of a smell. The thickness is good. Any thicker and you won’t be able to use it. It is smooth on one side and has grips on the other. I am not sure if grips would be best on both sides or not. Good overall.
