I installed one for my mother, and then immediately bought another for myself (years ago) – still works great. Spread the word – best opener 🙂

We so appreciate our loyal customers, Tracy. Thank you!

This device is simple and it works very well. No more tapping, running under hot water, severe hand cramping and the like. Place and twist and it’s open. Takes a couple of minutes to get the hang of it. Good product, anticipating it will last way longer than I will.

So glad to learn the UN-SKRU works well for you, Brian. Your sense of humor made me smile. Thank you for sharing!

I had an UN-SKRU for over 20 years. In the last year and a half, I’ve moved twice and somehow it got left behind. So as I settled into my new home I began to miss it and order two more: one for myself and one for a friend. We both love them. They are so easy, so convenient, and designed to open any size jar with a screw-on lid. No implement has ever been made to work so well for its intended purpose. And the price is amazing! Thank you ever so much!

Music to our ears, Karen, thank you so much. We’ve been selling UN-SKRUs for over forty years, and I love hearing from people who appreciate them. I’m wishing you a happy spring in your new home!

Best jar opener ever made – bar none! I got mine in about 1976 and I still use it. When my daughter moved out and needed one we couldn’t find them and tried every other type made. None work as well. Finally, I found one about 10 years ago for her. Now I keep a supply on hand. My daughter and I give them as house warming gifts. They are loved by everyone. Thank you!
janetlane –
Ruth, thank you! We really appreciate the time you took to write such a detailed review of the UN-SKRU. You are one of our “classic customers,” those who have appreciated the UN-SKRU and generously shared it with others over the years. We thought you’d enjoy seeing one of our earliest ads, this one from our AARP ad in the early 1970s. I included our historic packaging, just for fun. You can see them at my blog, HERE

The Original UN-SKRU and Only one we use. The other ones out there are cheap and we think Dangerous imitations. We have been using the UN-SKU brand for years. It’s the Greatest.

Charles, thank you for your review, your loyalty, and your recognition of the quality of the UN-SKRU brand. Thank you for spreading the word, and happy spring!

Ten years ago I was experiencing trouble opening bottles as the strength in my hands was diminishing. Fortunately I saw an ad for UnSkru and thought I’d give it a try. Words cannot express the joy I felt using my new kitchen device, it was amazing and continues being one of the most important accessories in my kitchen and motorhome. It is also the gift I love sending to friends and family so they too can enjoy this truly amazing tool. And the fact that it is made in America just adds to the thrill of your product.

Penny, we are grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the UN-SKRU with us and the community.

Hazel Johnson –
It is the best! I used to have an UN-SKRU in a previous home. Here in this home I purchased a different jar opener but decided not to install it. Instead I went on-line and found where to purchase an UN-SKRU. Very happy to be using it again.
janetlane –
Thanks for your review, Hazel. When the UN-SKRU is installed under the cabinet, it’s always there but becomes invisible until you need to open a jar. You’re not alone–in the busy-ness of moving, some people inadvertently leave their UN-SKRU behind. Thank you for seeking out the UN-SKRU and finding us!

Have had one for almost 30 years. Excellent!!!! Still looks brand new. Just ordered 3 more for family. They love it too! Spoke to Janet at the company and she was wonderful. Janet and the product earn a 10 on my scale!
janetlane –
Heather, that’s an impressive statistic — thirty years! We’re thrilled to learn this! Thanks for sharing! –Janet, blushing and appreciative of my 10 rating! 🙂

GREAT product. OMG Game changer. I have arthritis in my thumbs, and I’ve always been independent. So, to NOT have to ask my husband to open jars has been AMAZING! I’m so grateful, I love this!!

We have had an Un-Skru in our kitchen for at least 40 years, and use it FREQUENTLY. It always works, is out of sight under a cupboard and not taking up space in a drawer – this is a RAVE REVIEW. We’ve given them for gifts, which this most recent one was. Thank you for a great product.
janetlane –
… and thank YOU, Sylvia for your rave review! 40 years! 😀

I’ve had your opener for over 30 years. Got it when you advertised in the AARP publication. Loved it. Sold the house and it stayed. Tried something new but it d diidn’t work so finally found you on line. Thank you for this terrific product.

Hi, Mary! It’s so kind of you to share your story. And thank YOU for finding us on line so you could replace your UN-SKRU. We’re wishing you much happiness in your new home!

I bought my first Un skru in the late 70s. I still have and use it. I bought many over the years for family and friends. The best gadget you never knew you needed. Highly recommend.

I purchased a house 26 years ago that the UN-SKRU was accidently left behind. We moved to a new house 13 years ago. The UN-SKRU came with us. I am now getting one for each of my daughters. This is a must in any kitchen.

UN-SKRU works great and everybody that I have given one also likes it. The sturdiness of this product mounted under a cabinet makes it easy to use 2 hands on the bottle to open it (IE: no need to hold an opener with one hand and the bottle with the other). The 3 that I ordered today are for Christmas presents to another 3 people. Incidentally, I had a little trouble ordering and Janet at Multi Marketing was quick to respond answering my questions and and helping me to order. Thankyou Janet!
janetlane –
You’re welcome, Tom, and thank you for your comments. It was a pleasure to help you! Happy Holidays!

Works great. Especially useful for people that have lost the strength in their hands or are arthritic. Anyone who has trouble opening jars should consider this aid. Will be ordering one for the camper.

My wife said that they were no longer made and that she couldn’t find them anywhere. I also looked and came up empty. However, I noticed a label on the one that we had that defined the warranty stated “Multi Mktg and Mfg”… and so I re-searched and found y’all. It’s gonna be a surprise for her.
My order’s in for three units. I can’t see how anyone could give this less than five stars.

Hi, Steve,
Thank you for your loyalty and sheer tenacity in finding us!
We’ll ship this today, and thank you again for your comments and for your loyalty! Did a Google search for UN-SKRU (or UNSKRU) fail to produce our unskru.com website? We’re trying very hard to be “reachable,” so any info you can share will be appreciated. Thank you for your order, and best wishes for a pleasant autumn! –Janet

The most versatile jar opener
The UN-SKRU opens all sizes of jar lids. No lid is too small – it opens tiny 1/2 inch medicine tubes and fingernail polish jars … and no lid is too large — it opens monster jar lids up to 5 inches in diameter. And yes, it opens those frustrating press-and-turn, child-proof medicine jars, too!
Opens ALL lid sizes – from 1/2″ to 5″ in diameter
Safe and easy! No sharp parts, no batteries
Always! USA quality you can trust, 5-year warranty
No strength needed! Great for arthritis, wrist rehab
Easy to install – 2 steel screws give stability and leverage.
The UN-SKRU arrives at your home in bright, informative packaging perfect for gift-giving. It reflects our 30-day money-back guarantee and our solid five-year warranty, with quick product replacement in the highly unlikely event that the opener is defective. The package lists the features and provides easy installation instructions.
