It's not your hands. It's the tool.
The rubber pad. The dish towel. The hot tap water. Tapping the rim with a butter knife. The strap wrench that works on about half of them. Every one of those gives you a better grip on the lid and leaves you holding the jar. That's the hard half. That's the half nobody solved.
Two sets of jaws. One button. Four seconds.
Set it on top of a closed jar and press the button once. The outer jaws close around the glass and hold it still — that's the step every other opener skips. Then the inner jaws take the lid and turn it, with far more steady torque than a wrist can produce, until the vacuum gives. The motor stops itself.
You are not part of the process. Nothing to grip, nothing to steady, nothing to brace against the counter, which is why it also works sitting down at the table, or with one hand.
The inner jaws are rubber-lined rather than toothed metal, so they don't scar or roughen the rim. The lid still seals afterward and the jar goes back in the refrigerator like normal.
We didn't pick an easy jar. We tested it by sealing it as tight as possible.
Look at where it's gripping.
Not the lid. The jar. That's the difference, and it's the whole product, every opener you've tried put its grip at the top and left the glass to you.
The outer jaws are on the body of the jar.
That's not a design detail. Holding the jar still is the half of the job that needs a strong hand, a working wrist, and something to brace against. It's the half every grip pad, strap wrench, and lid-only opener leaves to you.
So the hand you'd normally be using is free.
There's no second hand hidden underneath this photo. There doesn't need to be one, which means there doesn't need to be a second person either.
And nothing is braced against the counter.
The machine supplies its own resistance. That's why it works at the kitchen table, in a chair, with one hand — situations where every other tool in the drawer quietly stops working.*
*Based on self reported results from 120 customers who used Avello TwinGrip™ Automatic Jar Opener consistently over a 3-month period.
You didn't stop buying pickles because you stopped liking pickles.
It happens quietly. You buy the pasta sauce in a can now, because the can opener works. You reach for the smaller jar even when the big one is a better price. You walk past the good olives, the tall jar with the narrow lid, and you don't really register that you did it.
And when someone comes over, you have them open five or six at once, and you put them back in the refrigerator with the lids resting loose on top, so they'll be there when you need them.
Nobody decided any of that. It happened one jar at a time, and now there's a section of the grocery store you don't shop in.
Four things no other opener on your counter does.
Not adjectives. Check any product page you like against these.
Nothing to hold
The jar is clamped by the machine, not by you. This is the whole difference between Avello and every grip pad, wrench, and lid-only opener.
Stops itself
The motor cuts when the seal releases. Nothing to watch, nothing to judge, nothing to switch off.
Nothing to hold down
One press and release. Some electric openers need the button held the entire time, which defeats the point for hands that ache.
Works seated
Nothing braces against a counter, so it works at the kitchen table, in a chair, with one hand.
A Better Way to Open Jars
This isn't a claim that Avello is stronger than everything else. It's a claim about which parts of the job you're still doing. There are only two: holding the jar still, and turning the lid. Most tools do the second one. We do both.

What people say after the first difficult jar.
Sorted by how long they've owned it.
I bought this because my hands have been bothering me and I was tired of saving jars for my husband. It took me a couple tries to get it positioned right, but once I did it opened the jar without me holding it. A little noisy but works good.
I had stopped buying salsa because I couldnt get the lids open. Didnt realize how much I missed it until I bought this. Time salsa is back in the pantry.
I was a little embarrassed buying a jar opener, honestly. But I was more embarrassed asking somebody else every time. This has been worth it for me.
I can finally open my own pasta jars again.
Used it for a pickle jar that had been sitting in the fridge for weeks. My husband couldnt get it either. Avello got it open, although it took longer than I expected. Still, open is open.
Not perfect. Doesnt work on giant jars. For the jars it fits, though, it saves my hands.
My daughter gave this to me. I told her I didn't need it, then used it the same day. The instructions could be bigger, especially for older eyes, but the machine itself is easy enough.
Very helpful. I live alone and dont like asking neighbors for small things. Used it on pickles, jam and spaghetti sauce so far.
It works on the smaller jars. The wide one I tried didnt fit very well. Maybe I was doing it wrong, not sure. Keeping it because it has worked on most things.
No more calling my husband from the garage to open a jar. He says he has lost his one job in the house lol.
I have arthritis and opening jars can be painful. This holds the jar so I dont need to grip it with my other hand. It makes a strange sound when it starts but it has opened everything I tried.
Small thing, big difference. I can cook without stopping to find someone who can open the jar. I wish I had bought it sooner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it open the jar that already beat me?
That's the only question that matters, so we filmed it instead of claiming it — the video above is a factory-sealed jar and it worked in one take. It applies steady geared torque well past what a wrist can produce, and it holds the jar while it does.
Do I have to hold the jar? Can I use it with one hand?
No, and yes. The outer jaws clamp the glass before the lid starts turning, so nothing needs a second hand and nothing braces against the counter. Set it on the jar, press once, let go — standing at the counter or sitting at the table.
Is it heavy, and can I change the batteries myself?
It weighs 15 oz or 430 grams — you're lifting it a few inches onto a lid, not holding it up. The batteries come installed, and the door slides open with a thumb. No coin, no screwdriver, no fingernails. It takes two standard AAs from any grocery store.
What about shipping and returns?
