Will this open a fancy olive jar that has a top that is 4 1/2 in diameter. What is the largest jar top that it will open.

The documentation it states that it will open jars or bottles from 1 inch to 3.5 inches. I haven't tried beyond those sizes.

No it will not. Looks like the maximum lid is approx 3.5" in diameter. This is the size of a 48 oz Jif Peanut Butter jar. There is room enough to screw the grippers onto the lid but anything larger won't work.

I can open everything in my hoouse except a mt olive dill pickle jar funny enough when i saw your question although it fits it, maybe you're in a pickle

The largest jar lid the Kuhn Rikon Gripper will open is 3.5 inches. It works really well though.

The jar, without the lid, is about 10.5" tall. The opening is 3.5" in diameter.Hope this helps.

I have a glass top and I use the 21 qt pressure canner, it is slightly bigger than my large eye and it works perfectly. love it.

The lip on the front opening is only about 6" wide so a traditional sized canning jar would not fit. The inside chamber however is almost 7 1/2" tall so a jar will fit standing up, however you would need to tilt it some to get it in / out. The lowest heat setting is 95 degrees. Hope this helps!

You should have no problem opening a plastic lid 3 inches in diameter. I have used this opener with large mayo and salsa jars with plastic lids without any problem. This is the best kitchen aid I own.

I love this cookie jar. The opening size is 4 & a half inches. It is big and so far everything I put in there fits.I hope this helps you. and yes your hand will fit in it.

Azzinnari you can open it up to maybe 2". It is extremely strong. It takes both my hands to open it up and hold it open. I have pretty strong hands. Hope this helps you .

I just tried this model on a Ball 1Qt Mason jar and it is too big. I assume that it depends on the jar. Also - see above that there is another model and that the 1st question talks about the fact that they are different sizes.

I have the 16oz jar. I know it's not the proper way to measure diameter, but when I lay a ruler across the opening of the jar, it measures 2.5 inches.

Be Careful! The 6 quart Presto model is barely tall enough to accommodate the height of a pint mason jar with seal and ring attached. The total volume of the vessel is not the issue here, it's the physical dimensions, in this case the height!!!! My 6 quart Presto allows me to can 4 pints IF YOU TURN THE SPACER UPSIDE DOWN AND PUT 4 QUARTERS UNDER THE SPACER TO KEEP THE HEAT FROM THE BURNER FROM POTENTIALLY BREAKING THE JARS!!!!! The quarters allow water between the bottom and the spacer. These units really should not be used for canning, there are other reasons.

It could be, if the jar fits. It needs to open wider to fit more modern jars.

I use Mason jars for canning, processing them in a boiling water bath. After removing the ring from processed and cooled jars, a bottle opener easily lifts the metal, rubberized lid. I wonder if the jar opener, as great as it is for vacuum-sealed glass jars (olives, pickles, etc.), would catch the edge of the thin Mason jar lid. If you know someone with a Jar Pop, ask them to try it on a Mason jar.

I tried it on the standard mason jars I have and it's smaller in diameter - but I'm no expert on Mason jars - the jars I tried are about 3" openings whereas the opening on the grinder is about 2.25" (58mm) ID. So no match to the inventory of jars I have!

If the pop lid is the same size as a beer lid it would. But as an opener I didn't buy it really to open my beer lids. It has 2 prongs in the back and you can break the "seal" of just about any jar that is sealed so tightly. I do have other types of openers but none that worked as well as this device for jars. Yet the lid screws back on again and is useable. Opening jars seems to be its main purpose; however, the circular part is a new addition. I had one 15 years ago I bought at the beach that did not even have the "bottle" opener part.

Yes, it open jars and tops that are both round and square! there are two movements. One grabs the outside of the jar and the inner one turns the lid. when you see it move then you can let it return to the open position to release. It's slow and methodical but yes you will open your mayo jar!

for me, the main issue was the height limit. it can open a pretty large lid. Mine is in storage so I can't look directly, but maybe some black and decker website might have better info than me. I found a web-like disc that's flexible and grips lids very well. So far, with my arthritis I haven't been stumped yet on opening a jar. Good luck

Here's an answer that I posted to a similar question: I've used a 2-qt Ball canning jar, which is too tall, but if you cover the Ball jar with a lid, then put a plastic baggie over the whole thing, it works! Alternatively, I've used a barrel-type pickle jar, which fits but only makes 46 oz. at a time. I actually brought the base of the machine with me to the grocery store, to find a pickle jar that would definitely fit.
