Twisty Lid Reviews

Connie Huff in her review of Twisty Lid says- “It didn’t get a good grip, and when it did, it really didn’t give me a leverage advantage that would make opening the jar easier. It also breaks into separate parts readily, causing constant reassembly. I don’t know what the answer is for easy jar opening, but Twisty Lid isn’t one of them”.

Louise Yates complains in her Twisty Lid review that the quality is poor and it doesn’t grab caps like the vintage model. Twisty Lid cannot open any jar, she says.

Another user Priscilla Hopkins is disappointed with the Twisty Lid and states in her review of the Twisty Lid that it didn’t work at all. She further adds that it just fell apart when she tried to use it.

Dolores Fitzgerald mentions in her review of the Twisty Lid- “It does not do the job, bad quality. Instructions came with this device showing how to put it together, which I thought was a little strange because it came assembled. It has a gripping issue and slips on lids that have smooth edges”.

Darla Barnett is disappointed with the Twisty Lid and says in her review that it is of poor quality. She also claims that when you open it too far it comes off the tracks and is quite a challenge to reassemble. She also felt the wooden handle could easily break if you use too much force.

Jackie Fox is not very pleased with the performance of the Twisty Lid and says in her review of it- “This one has metal only and it slips on the lid unless quite a bit of force is used”.

Lana Austin mentions in her Twisty Lid review- “It doesn’t have good “teeth” to grip the lids, so when I tried to open a smaller cap, I was just turning the handle without any success. It did work when I tried opening a larger lid. It’s just hard to find good quality kitchen products anymore”.

In her Twisty Lid review Sadie Ryan says that she found it to be laborious, and strenuous just to get the handle to work. She says that it is supposed to be a jar opener that people with arthritis could use, but she still found it too difficult to turn”.
