Had a free rubber grip from one of those conference handouts and loved it but somehow lost it. Struggled with bottles ever since and got a few bottle openers that look like a wrench but sometimes they work and mostly don't. Saw the good reviews and bought these and wow! That's all I can say. Opened a bottle of oyster juice with no effort at all. It works better even than the free one. I wish I got these a long time ago and would recommend this to anyone (especially you single ladies out there like I was)!

These work great!! Just as intended. I’m not really sure what some people were complaining about. I have small hands and most times I just can’t get a good enough grip on a jar or bottle as I don’t have enough “hand leverage” over the container. Sometimes I will hold one on the bottom of the jar and use one to twist off the lid for better control if it’s a tougher jar to open. They work great - every time and you don’t have to be Hercules to open a jar.

I've used the teepee shaped soda bottle opener more than anything else, and it is a big help. Not quite as good as my husband, but helpful! You still need a little muscle to open larger containers with the flat openers, but at least you won't tear up your hands.
