As always! Thankyou!!! I like some of those options a lot!! I will say, I had the one touch item. But a) it actually caused pain holding it down and b) in the end after it didn’t work and I had multiple jars lost etc, the most satisfaction was throwing it across the room to its inevitable destruction! Now perhaps my one was just wonky or something? But in the end, when I was going without eating because of it, it wasn’t worth it. I found it didn’t work at all according to instructions and it didn’t work on a lot of jars etc. Just saying this because if it works for others that’s awesome! But if anyone has issues like I did, you’re not alone!!!!
The metal opener is the best. I have one that is 52 years old and it still works. Swing-A-Way Comfort Grip Jar Opener, Black, 7.5-Inch is the best. I was once able to buy in bulk and give them away to people with bad hands. My 100 year old neighbour puts the jar in the crook of her arm and with her good hand opens the jar. I gind that medern jars have sloping tops which make it harder to open jars.
Does Swing--A-Way work for the Motts-For-Tots apple juice lids, whose size are somewhere in between the one's shown here? (I.E. green plastic lid) ......And what do you mean by sloping tops? ......And also, how does OXO Good-Grips compare to Swing-A-Way?
I find the JarKey to be incredibly useful for breaking the vacuum seal on bottles. Once the vacuum seal is broken, opening the jar is usually easy. I like water pump (groove joint) pliers for opening smaller bottles like Gatorade.
Question.... I had subluxed SIJs undiagnosed for 8 years.... I struggle with limited rotational twisting movementsfor things like showering etc any suggestions?
Very helpful video, thankyou! Any suggestions for bottle tops that need squeezing two places? I have multiple allergies, the only mouthwash I've found that is safe (Aloedent) is difficult for me to open.
What jar opener works best for 64-oz Motts For Tots apple juice? I never see demo's for those lids (only smaller ones or bigger ones - or - or metal ones)
thank you for all your suggestions, would you be interested in content that helps people get back to work, or back to work gradually, for instance in the case of 6 month recovery for rotator cuff surgery (on dominant side) ? my surgery is 2 months off and I have some pain now, so I can begin to find strategies for post surgery that can also help me now / I teach art in higher ed so the scissors short was of interest, am also thinking of typing such as a speech to typing app and text expander... [I'm ordering the under cupboard jar opener, by the way !]
Have you tried the Jiffy Twist? It's an under the cabinet opener similar to the EZ Off (which I had and replaced with Jiffy Twist). It's the best under the cabinet opener I've come across. It's black so hides well, isn't a perfect V and it's shape makes it easier to use,. It's teeth/blades are covered kids or whoever don't accidentally hurt themselves using it, it opens large and small containers/jars/pill bottles/pop bottles/nail polish/ect, and finally it's super affordable... A friend of mine has had his for 2 years so it's durable as well as made in the usa
Yes! I actually got one shortly after making this video and I wish I had included it! It's a fantastic option and I totally agree that it's better than the EZ Off!
You’re a lifesaver! Thanks for the great review

I am reviewing this to help a neighbor about to have shoulder surgery. Very helpful, thank you.
You’re welcome!

Thanks for showing these devices 😉
My pleasure!

I have a jar key tool and it’s great! Thanks for mentioning it! I’ve used oil filter wrenches too!
Thank You! Been needing this info and your presentation was incredibly helpful! New subscriber!
Thank you and welcome!
Thank you
Thanks I just had to have my son come over the other day and open my syrup bottle.
Those are tough!!

Thank you EquipMeOT.!! Any solutions for opening a can of cat food?
Very helpful video, thankyou!

Here in the uk I used to suggest people try one of the old style basic nutcrackers. It gave pressure in the two sections that needed pressing in.
What gadget would you suggest to break the vacuum seal that you find on jars?
What jar opener works best for 64-oz Motts For Tots apple juice? I never see demo's for those lids (only smaller ones or bigger ones - or - or metal ones)
I had the Easy Open Jar Opener, I really liked it but it crack in the middle and broke in to 2 pieces. It didn't last long
Lower price point definitely makes for lower quality.
@@EquipMeOT that is a great point.
I now have the oxo good grips, I've had it for years and it works fantastically.
@@EquipMeOT How does OXO Good Grips compare to Swing-A-Way and Easy Open?
You missed the stainless one with handle
A little disappointed that you did not review the oxo sure grip or similar unit. Similar to the under counter unit but free hand.
Thanks for your info. However, I cannot find where you are posting the links. Please clarify.
You will be able to find them in the description. You will have to expand the description by clicking the little carrot in the corner.
My screen has no carrot but if I press under the right side, of actual video, description should show up
Would the robo twist work on Gatorade or water bottles(small caps)?
No, it is limited to larger containers. I’m still looking for a one-touch small bottle opener that is reliable.
@@EquipMeOT thank you!

This is not a good test because the biggest challenge is unopened jars.
