Description of Idea:
I’m an individual with an Acquired Brain Injury & due to hand shakes I can’t open things like Pasta jars, jam or salsa jars. Now that I’m moving into my own apartment in October, I was wondering if you could help me overcome this ?

MMC Entry I.D: 6931

@cfraser16, You share a challenge with thousands and I’d be happy to give a hand. As a favor could you please look thorugh this list to see if there would be something off-the-shelf that could do for you?

(you may have to change language. What you are describing is within the ISO code 24.06.03)

Thanks for your help

The jar key listed above works well for breaking the seal. It requires minimal effort to use. After it is open, I would suggest using a piece of shelf liner or a rubber jar opener over the lid to assist with twisting off.

3253Nice info @atrc. For people coming here to find a jar key, it would be great if you could specify which one you are referring to and what kind of people it will work best for? Apparently  @cfraser16 is not following the discussion anymore. Is that so?

his is the device I was thinking of and have experience with. I couldn’t find one on this site. It would be great for those with fine motor impairments of varying types such as arthritis, lack of strength, paralysis, tremors, etc.
