The Homesteading Tool I Didn’t Know I Needed

Kirk picked me up a hand tool on Amazon, and at first, I thought, “Why would I need this?” After trying it out, I wondered why I hadn’t had one for years.

The tool is so simple. It’s a metal mason jar opener that opens bottle caps and tight metal lids on jars as well.

I use it most to pop the lids on Mason jars. I no longer have to chip my fingernails or try to use a butter knife to pop under the lid.

Can openers used to have a metal tab I could use to pop mason jar lids, but in the past decade, I have noticed they don’t have it on heavy-duty can openers anymore. It works exactly as described. It’s nothing exciting, but it is a tool you will wonder how you got by without.

And you will save your fingernails (and fingernail polish as well).

For less than $10. It was a win and a great gift to recieve.
