I'll add another. Tesco pickled cucumber jars. Lids tightened to the

Don't exaggerate, Dave. I've asked you a million times (maybe more) not
to exaggerate.

I'm not so sure. We have a collection of such tools but I sometimes
decide that drilling a hole in the lid is the safest thing.

My pet hate are the lids with steeply sloping edges - apparently designed
to defeat everything up to and including strap wrenches.


This lid remover is the best on this earth and I bet one is not in your
collection or you would be sure, they are not easy to find but get one and
you will never have trouble again.

I got one and kept having trouble, because they bugger up the
lid and thats no good for me because I reuse the jars and lids
for my own marmalade and relish. This style works much better
and doesnt damage the lids but doesnt work with lids with a
deep rim like the older IXL straight sided 600ml marmalade jars.

They pop the seal as soon as you squeeze and then hold securely to open.
