Questions & Answers
The water bottle works at 1 inch as well (on a plastic water bottle), but all of the previous comments are correct. The system operates in the 1 to 3 range Neither plastic nor metal are available in the .5 inch size (this size is also what Kuhn Rikon states). A spaghetti sauce jar with a diameter of 3 inches and made of metal was used to test it. Half way down the lid, the clamp's teeth are buried in the metal Only half the lid depth caused the device to clamp at about 1/4 of an inch below the surface. In the lid, the clamp is below the glass part of the container, but it does not extend below the glass. The jar was very easy for me to open. As the clamp's rubber part holds the teeth in place, the top portion of it has grooves for the teeth to move in To fit tightly around the lid of the case, turn the twist device clockwise (to the right). To accomplish this, hold the jar with one hand and push the handle counter-clockwise As clockwise as possible (to the left). This bottle opener is my go-to for opening plastic bottles most of the time. Currently, I am dealing with tendonitis in my right thumb (possibly developing arthritis), so I can't open plastic soda or sport drink bottles, nor can I open metal spaghetti jars. You don't want to miss out on this. The two I bought are the same. In case I have to open a bottle while traveling and can't open it at home, I will have one at home and one in my car. Although it appears to be quite large (look at the While I read that it was large and the measurement is accurate, the best feature of this device is that it will open big jars and it does it quickly. You can purchase a smaller version from the Kuhn Rikon website, but it will not open big If you want to open a jar, I would measure it to see if the required dimensions happen to be within the measurements listed above. Last but not least, I tried virtually all of the other methods I could think of (OXO Easy Jar Opener, It just spins and does not grab onto metal or plastic Protective gloves or pads made out of rubber Silicone pad openers and silicone grippers are also available). My wife and I bought a house & It wasn't until I came across this product that worked that I returned a number of them. This is a rather long post, but I just wanted to share my experience with you.
There is no information on the gripper about the place of manufacturing. There are patents. 7 is the number to be considered. Until now, I have not been able to find a better opener.
My deepest apologies, this would not work. It would have to have a flat top in addition to not fitting that size. There is a screw in the center, so there is no room for a pointed lid. However, it is a wonderful program for anything else. It might be able to open something as small as, say, a nickel.
In general, here are the directions As a user, you should grab two things As well as the handle (a big protruding thing) and the screw top (comparable to the wedge thing on the bottom of the disk), there is also something on the opener that grabs hold of I am going to use my Upon grabbing the lid of a jar with the opener, the wedge on the disk controls how it grabs the lid, and the handle controls how it opens the jar once the opener has grabbed Make sure the teeth of the opener are on top of the lid of the jar. You'll need to turn the screw dial wedge on top of the opener to the left after pinching it. With every left turn, the teeth are going to open wider. The teeth should fit comfortably around the top of the jar after turning the top left. Afterward, turn right until you find the lid of the jar at the bottom. You can rotate the lid off the jar using the handle to turn the opener which is now screwed into the lid by bearing one hand against the jar to hold it steady, placing your other hand on the opener handle, and turning the opener handle lefty loosely.

The jar opener we have is something we have had for several years, so we have a lot of experience using it to open small and On the underside of the Rikon, there are metal "grabbers" that can't grasp most lids. Perhaps they aren't positioned well, or they are just not strong enough. One finger must be placed on the "thumb wheel" on top of the gadget to hold it while placing tension on the thumb wheel during the twisting motion to remove In addition to being difficult, this job can also be There are times when two people are required to hold the thumb wheel at the top while the other tries to twist it off. You can also use a regular strap wrench (which you can find in a hardware store) in some situations. I am not a fan of the appearance of this Kuhn Rikon in a kitchen drawer, but it does not open jar lids well.
I'd say this one blew the box out of the water. Despite the fact that it is a great idea, it does not As the foot at the bottom of a lid is tightened, it pops out of alignment. There is no way to tighten this tool up in order to hold jar lids because you cannot tighten it enough. Once one of the feet is out of alignment, the opening or closing of the tool isn't complete. THIS PRODUCT IS A SCAM! DON'T BUY IT! This is a great idea, but it has HORRIBLE execution. As you can see in the picture, the feet seem to be out of It's hard to see from the above, but the two top ones are pushed together. However, the bottom one is closed completely. My wife accidentally tightened it on a jar when she tried to tighten it. The tool can no longer be opened or closed since the closed foot is on the inside while the other two feet are clicked and pushed to the outside. I just think it's You shouldn't waste your money buying a strap wrench, or an oil filter strap wrench (the same thing depending on where you search), the strap wrench works great! A LONG TIME!.
I cannot get it to work. The trash I've collected is a waste of time. I didn't realize there was a time limit for returning it. Buy this product at your own peril!.
Every type of bottle can be cleaned with this system, from water/soda bottles to pickle jars to laundry detergent jugs. Simply place it over the top and tighten the lever, and it will There is only one time when it isn't as easy to use opening small jars, since it is difficult to get a grip on the jar so you can force the lid down. I still think it's amazing, and I would strongly.
Having seen so many rave reviews for this Kuhn Rikon jar opener, we decided to give it a try when we started wanting to open a jar (who knew getting older meant weak It was unfortunate that, perhaps due to the fact that we used it only for the toughest jobs, the opener broke after four uses. You can see a picture that shows what I consider to be a major design flaw below to help you decide Plastic joins the three metal grippers to the base, causing the weakest link to be the connection between the metal grippers and base. I guess it's no big deal.
In one week's time. The computer did not work. If it was made with quality rather than low prices it would be a good design. It is very silly that this opener broke like this. I have a Kuhn Rikon can opener that I love, but it should not have made such a mess. Spending money on something that is a waste of time and.
Jar opener, like so many other jar openers, can be expanded with the twist of a knob to accommodate larger With the handle applied and tightened, it provides plenty of leverage to open jars even when they are tough to open. The lid on a wide-mouth pickle jar proved to be difficult to open by hand, despite multiple attempts, including running the lid under hot water and by knocking it on The jar had to wait until this handy unit arrived before it could be opened. I tried again to open the jar by hand, but couldn't get it open. My next step involved applying the Kuhn Rikon to the pickle jar, tightening it against the edges of the lid, then grabbing the handle and clamping it. Here you go! There was a slight nudge that opened it.
In order to open jars, I can't use my fingers. I have a lot of pain in my fingers. Oh, if only I could go back to my Whenever I do something like this, I feel There is a larger knob on this item that is turned to tighten the tool on to jars instead of the knob shown in the picture. Once the lid is unscrewed, the handle turns to release it. Those who have lost their extraordinary squeezing abilities will be pleased with the product too. That's what I love about The person who broke the jar opener was one of the reviewers - I read his review. To be able to break it, one must be extremely strong A tool used for something it probably didn't need to begin with. Nothing that could possibly go wrong with this tool could break it. The way I see it, that is what I believe.
