Will it open a jar that is wider where the "grippers" attach and the cap is much smaller?

As long as the cap fits where it turns to open the jar size doesn't matter.

I'm sorry for the delay, I was out of town. Yes, the "grippers" grip the jar and it is the other mechanismthat adjusts to the cap size.

If its larger than the jar, just hold it down-works fine. If its smaller than the jar it probably won't work.

I dont think its made to open that wide but it will. Its a tight fit, but I did make it happen

I just measured the biggest slot or circle and it's 3.25 inches in diameter. There's no way it would open a 4.5 inch jar. I take that back- you can stretch the two ends 4.5 inches apart so a jar 4.5 inches would fit between the smallest circles. That may work. Hope this helps.

It will open a jar with up to a 3 & 1/2 inch lid. My hands are very arthritic and I am very pleased with this product.

The end is aout 1/2", but is flexible, so would fit into a slightly smaller bottle opening. I found the other end to be better at scraping out leftover product.

The kraut caps I ordered fit a standard wide mouth canning jar. Hope that helps.

Hi Nikolas, It will open regular and vacuum-style screw top jars with lid diameters of from 1.3" to about 4" , hope this helps!

I looked at mine and it looks like it would. It opened a big mouth pickle jar with no problem.

You can adjust the size of the opening depending on where you cut at the tip (scissors). Cap similar to Elmers.

I'll have to say no ~ I do have the Evriholder Easy Twist jar opener for approx. $7.00 which i just love for all other jars, it has 4 jar size openings, you just slip it over & squeeze. hope this was helpful.

Absolutely yes. Even my dear husband with gorilla hands has no trouble. The jar opening is about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Larger than a standard wide-mouth jar. :-)

Yes. Just leverage the plastic cap with a knife or a sharp tool. Sorry, my english is not so good.

Yes, it does. I have arthritis, so sometimes takes a good bit of hand/arm leverage. The "Y" shape allows it to open any size jar/bottle cap or lid. I'd buy again.

If you mean screwtop bottles, yes. It will adjust down that small and grip the lids nicely. However, if you mean a flip top can, this device is not designed to open that sort of container.

Well, yes probably I guess. Why? It depends on how many beers you've had already and if you don't want to damage your teeth, and don't have a proper opener. The part of this tool that you'd use to open the bottle is super sharp - the tip and curved edge...so it will dig into the cap as you pry it open - yeah, it might work, but why - get a multi-tool or an opener - they are both so cheap.

I think it will. I measured the end and it will be a tight fit. I use it one a bottle that has a 1 1/4 opening with no trouble.
