11 Ways To Open Any Hard-To-Open Jar Lid

What is the best way to open a Hard-To-Open Jar Lid? It depends on what is the problem. There are many different causes.

If you could not open a jar, it could simply because you were turning it in the wrong direction, but assuming you didn't make that mistake, there is only one reason why you can't open it, that is, your force can't overcome the resistance of the jar. For that, you may blame either the person or you may blame the jar. :)

If you prefer to blame the person, there are 2 possibilities. You either have weak fingers or a weak wrist/arm.

If you think the jar is the problem, you need to investigate the 3 possibilities of what is causing the high resistance.

The 3 causes are the vacuum seal, high friction on the threads and liner, or solidified food. You need to match the tools you have to solve each problem.
