Product Information

So, keeping in mind that the best jar openers for arthritic hands should lessen the strain on both hands my recommendations (listing from the best to good) are: This is a newer version of the Robo Twist Jar Opener that has an improved torque power. No more struggling to open jars. The Robotwist is strong enough to open any size or type of jar, even if it’s been sealed shut for years. If you need a little nudge in a hurry, try reaching for a towel or washcloth. “You can create traction with a wet towel around the lid as you try to open it,” Lax says. The wetness helps keep the towel from slipping and provides a little extra grip, she explains. 15. Use hot water

Using your whole arm to brace the jar gives you more strength and takes the pressure off your hands and fingers. 3. Use a non-slip surface The bigger tool is useful for large jars. But the person has to have enough strengthen to simultaneously grip the handle, hold it closed, and twist. I am not sure that a frail senior could use it well.

In this category, I would recommend a jar opener that looks like a V-shaped pad with sharp teeth and a handle. (To some degree it resembles the design of an under cabinet opener. See photo in comparison tables under the article). This jar opener design uses a lever technique that enables the user to apply little input force but produces high output force to twist off a jar lid effortlessly. The opener’s anti-skid and ergonomic design makes it convenient to handle and provides a firm grip to the user.Rather than actually opening the jar, these grips give you a firm hold on your jar lids while you use your hand to manually twist open the jars. I recommend them because with this type of the opener you can use the strength of both hands to hold the jar while metal teeth of the opener are strongly grabbing the lid. ( Just to be clear: you don’t have to use both hands, a person with one hand can open the jar with this kind of opener but I am talking about the possibility – it is the only kind of the opener where the strength of both hands can be used to hold onto the jar itself). This is the coolest jar opener ever! Okay – it is a little on the slow side, but it is almost hands-free, it fits in a kitchen drawer and it works great for anyone with a weaker grip.
