Jar opening fixture - MauleSkinner - 07-19-2024
Well, I’ll give another try at posting a pic. Quickie project, slapped together with scrap in my mom’s garage.
My mom had shoulder replacement yesterday, so she’s one-armed for a while. I made a bench hook-style fixture to clamp jars so she can open them with one hand. Works for quart jars down to pill bottle size. She indicated that it might continue to be useful after she’s recouperated, in which case I’ll make a nicer one.

Well, I got a link, but still can’t figure out how to get a picture in here.

I couldn't get the link to work.
RE: Jar opening fixture - MauleSkinner - 07-19-2024
I re-did the link…hopefully it works now.

Great idea. I am going to make one just to try it out. Thanks for posting it.

That is very clever. Thank you.

Yes, link worked now.

It’s not an original thought on my part, but apparently it’s not something common in the U.S. I only see it available in the UK and Australia.

Well done - thanks for sharing and good luck to your mom with the recovery!

Thanks, Tapper! My mom is only 80, so I think she’s got a few years of independent living yet. Unfortunately at almost 500 miles, I’m the closest one. But she’s got a good support group here,

Interesting idea. My mother's had three shoulder replacements done, and is resisting another. Maybe she'll want something like this.
Thanks for posting.
