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.

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.

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.
