The Levolift Grip-Assist Jar Opener
The hard part of a jar isn't the turning. It's the squeezing.
A brand-new jar is held shut by a vacuum. Before the lid will move at all, your hand has to clamp down hard enough that it can't slip. That squeeze is the part that hurts, and it is the part most people quietly start avoiding.
Levolift takes the squeeze away. Set it over the lid and press the button, and three claws close around the rim and hold it. All that is left for you is one easy turn of a long handle.
How it works
Three moves. One open jar.
Set it over the lid. It sits flat on top of the jar. Nothing to line up, nothing to adjust.
Press to grip. Three claws close around the rim and hold it, tighter than fingers can and without slipping. That is the part that takes strength, and it is done for you.
Turn the long handle. The handle is long on purpose: the further your hand sits from the centre of the lid, the less force the turn takes. One hand steadies the jar, the other turns.
The lid comes off whole, so it screws right back on. And there is a bottle opener built into the end of the handle.
Most openers look like they came from a hospital supply catalog.
What changes
No more waiting for someone to come over.
Hot water. A dish towel. Tapping the rim with a butter knife. Banging it on the counter and hoping the glass holds. Then, eventually, calling someone.
Everybody has a system for the jar that won't open, and none of them works every time. Nobody decides to stop buying the big jar of pickles or the sauce that comes in glass. It just happens, one tight lid at a time.
Levolift is for getting those back. The jars you have started avoiding are exactly the ones it is for.
Less squeezing
Built for stubborn lids.
The claws do the gripping, so your fingers never have to clamp down. The long handle does the leverage, so the turn takes a steady push rather than a hard twist.
It works best on metal screw-top lids: pasta sauce, pickles, salsa, jam. Smooth plastic caps can slip, and we would rather tell you that here than have you find out on your counter.
