Zyliss Jar Opener for Arthritic Hands

I have had a form of arthritis in my hands for the past 25 years, but it has only been in the past 10 years that I really started to experience weakness in my wrists and hands. I quickly grew tired of being unable to open jars or having to ask someone else to do it all for me in the kitchen and set out to find something which could allow me to do the job myself.

I tried various types of grippers but found for those jars with lids on really tight, they weren't really effective. Finally though, I came across the Zyliss Jar Opener. Tried it. And I use it now every time I need to open a jar.

Presenting the Zyliss Strong Boy Jar Opener

I've had problems with aching joints attributed to a form of arthritis for many years. Recently though I developed a chronic inflammation in my wrists which causes them to be swollen and very painful, and makes opening jars very difficult. As a cook I need to be able to twist lids to open jars on a regular basis. I like to have some level of independence in the kitchen, and that means being able to get lids off myself.

The Zyliss Opener can remove the lid from even the most stubborn jar, without a lot of effort.

Watch this video to see how you can use this tool in the kitchen. It really does save strain on the wrists and hands, which is so vitally important when they are chronically inflamed from arthritis or other disorders.
