OXO Jar Opener with Base Pad: Check Lid Fit Before Buying
A manual opener and counter pad address two grip points. Check lid compatibility and understand the twisting action before choosing this model.

What to compare ↓
Direct answer: still a manual tool
Consider this model if you want a separate base pad beneath the jar and a tool to grip the lid. It does not open jars automatically. Skip it if you need a powered mechanism or expect the product to remove the twisting step entirely; no effort reduction was measured for this guide.
Match the lids you actually use
Measure the smallest and largest screw lids in your kitchen and ask the seller to confirm compatibility. The reviewed page did not give a verified lid-diameter range. The tool's listed overall size, 9 by 5 by 1 inches, is not a specification for the lids it accepts.
Understand the two-part setup
OXO describes placing its non-slip pad under the jar, sliding the opener over the lid and turning counterclockwise. The handle has a soft non-slip grip. Plan a stable counter position with room for your hand to turn, then follow the supplied instructions; the pad and opener serve different grip points.
Storage, care and market checks
Store the pad with the opener so neither part goes missing when needed. Dishwasher permission was not verified; consult the supplied care instructions. Match US SKU 1173600 rather than another OXO jar-opener design. In Israel, confirm the exact model and local seller terms; no delivery or local offer was verified.
Compare by how you will use it
| Your use | What to check before buying |
|---|---|
| Manual tool versus powered opener | This design still needs a turning action. If that action is the reason you are replacing your current tool, compare the operation of alternatives before deciding. |
| Jar opener versus can opener | Choose for screw-top jars, not for cutting a sealed can lid. These are different jobs and this guide does not claim the tool replaces a can opener. |
Buying in the United States
Set your delivery ZIP code before comparing offers. Check shipping charges, taxes shown at checkout, the return window and whether a third-party seller handles fulfilment. A US retailer listing does not establish availability at your address.

Is every lid size supported?
No universal fit claim is justified by the reviewed information. Obtain confirmation for your lid sizes before purchasing.
