Seniors swear by this easy-on-the-hands jar opener: It's down to $12 for a few hours

In a world full of affordable gadgets and gizmos, only a select few are truly excellent at solving life's most annoying problems. Take, for example, the EZ Off Jar Opener. Developed for seniors and those with arthritis or weak hands, the tool does exactly what you'd expect: opens your jars easily so you don't have to struggle. Just install it under a cabinet and twist off all the lids your heart desires. Sounds like a kitchen lifesaver, right? Well, get this — it's also a money saver, seeing as it's down to just $12 (from $20) at Amazon. But hurry! This limited-time lightning deal is going fast.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

It's fair to say anything this helpful that costs just $12 is a worthy investment. But beyond the low price, you're saving so much energy with this gizmo. Instead of attempting to open a vacuum-sealed jar for what feels like forever and breaking a sweat, you're buying back that time. At 40% off, this is as low as we've seen it in months, but the deal will end once it's 100% claimed, so add it to your cart, stat.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The EZ Off Jar Opener works like an extra-strong, extra-sharp vice grip. Just insert a jar until it's caught on the metal teeth. With both hands, twist to pop off the lid. That's it!

You'll need to install it with three included screws, and it comes with adhesive so it'll stay put while you're doing the job. When placed underneath a cabinet, it'll take up very little space. You'll hardly notice it.

What reviewers say 💬

Amazon customers are seriously obsessed with the EZ Off Jar Opener — more than 22,000 gave it a flawless five-star rating.

Pros 👍

"I got so tired of the twist things you find in the kitchen sections of stores," explained one shopper. "My 90-year-old father has arthritis and couldn’t open anything that wasn’t easy to twist off. This item is genius! It will open even the tightest jar, bottle, etc. Love it!"

"I installed this without my wife knowing it," wrote a sneaky spouse, "so when she saw me using it, she asked, 'What are you doing?' and then came over and said, 'Oh, that's cool.' It installed under the counter easily ... and is not noticeable, even when sitting down, but works really, really well."

"Works great for this senior," raved a third fan. "Easily installed under my kitchen counter. It isn't visible and works great, even opens stuck Mason jars! Great gift for any senior or anyone with wrist or finger mobility issues like arthritis. I really didn't expect it to work so great, but this does the job perfectly."

Cons 👎

"This is one of the best jar openers I’ve seen in my lifetime," gushed a generally pleased user. "I work with the elderly and highly recommend it for them as well. If it’s a holiday or birthday, I’ll buy it for my clients and install it for them. One little twist and [the] lid opens. [The] only problem would be if you try to open a really big jar, and you have to lift it up to the jar opener and you're not strong enough to hold the jar."

"I love that this thing is hidden under my cabinet," said a final buyer. "I can now open jars that used to be impossible. [The] only problem is that it can chew up a metal lid. Small price to pay for reliable access!"

And when it comes to cans...
