If you have trouble opening lids, this $15 gadget is essential: 'A perfect tool for older people'

We've all had trouble opening a lid or jar sometimes. Maybe you've resorted to the ol' spoon hack to open a stubborn jar that just won't budge. But the problem with that hack is that it might still not work for folks with limited dexterity or weak hands. Cue our latest deal of the day from Amazon.

The Original Under Cabinet Jar Opener is a pretty genius kitchen tool, designed for anyone with weaker hands, such as folks with arthritis, seniors or those with other disabilities that limit their dexterity.

In fact, this handy little tool was one of our top-selling products among AOL shoppers on Prime Day last year, but lucky for you we're seeing it on sale even further right now — for 40% off!

Designed for seniors with arthritis — or anyone with weak hands — this under-cabinet jar opener makes it easy for anyone to open any lid or jar without any effort.

The tool itself is pretty easy to set up, too. It's designed to be mounted under your cabinet so it's out of sight. Once it's mounted securely, the unique v-shape is designed to grip jars and lids of any size using its sharp carbon steel teeth that do the hard work of twisting and unsealing for you.

It comes with peel and stick tape to make installation easy and simple, though we do recommend securely mounting it with the included screws for added safety. Once installed, use it to open jars and lids of any size, from small nail polish bottles to bulky pickle jar lids and more.

You can find other models of jar openers, such as rubber jar grips, robotic jar openers and hand-held tools, but what makes The Original Under Cabinet Jar Opener unique is that it isn't bulky and doesn't take up counter space or get lost in a kitchen drawer.

You can also feel good knowing that it's a product designed and made in the U.S. by a family-owned and operated company since 1977.

With a 4.7-star rating and over 13,000 Amazon reviews, it's easy to see why it's a must-have for those with dexterity issues.

"A perfect tool for older people, folks with arthritis or disabilities that make it difficult to open jars and bottles," said one reviewer on Amazon.

Other reviewers say that it's great for opening bottles and jars of any size with ease.

"With this jar opener I can open everything by myself with no help," said another reviewer. "I haven’t found any jars or bottles, large or small, that it will not open."
