This is the second one I’ve had. The previous one worked great. The metal serated edge was staked on with plastic, and upon opening a small jar, it torqued it out. So, I bought another, and was glad to see they used metal rivets this time. However, they changed the serated edge, and now all it does is saw through the tops. I hope they redesign it again.

I have had this for quite a few years. While my wife often has difficulty opening jars with it this is more a question of applying sufficient force and in the correct direction. As other reviewers have mentioned, this can leave marks on the jar lid but the marks are quite minor. Also as others have mentioned, this device can slip off the lid — but I find that happens most if the opener isn’t positioned properly i.e. flat on top of the lid.
In terms of durability I’ve had no trouble whatsoever with this product and we use it reasonably often for a home kitchen.

I’ve gone through two of these and won’t purchase another. The first one broke after using it a three or four times, but since I like Oxo products in general, I assumed it just a fluke. The second one I simply threw away. As other reviewers have pointed out, it uses tiny, metal teeth to grip the lid, which slip and could conceivably cause injury. It was worthless, so I’m back to the old technique of using hot water on the lid and banging the sides with a spoon. Works better than Oxo, that’s for sure.
