    I think they're just called jar openers.

    I have a different type, that just pops the seal and the jar easily opens. Mine is made by Starfrit.

    I think in the eighties they were called cap snafflers!! Made by Ronco!! the one you described is still sold at Canadian tire I bought one for my daughter as a stocking stuffer last year because she has carpal tunnel
    The Cap Snaffler. "Snaffles caps off of any size jug, bottle, or jar." I actually shouldn't make fun of this one "“ I can see how it would come in handy for people with arthritis or carpal tunnel. I'm dealing with some nasty pregnancy-related carpal tunnel at the moment and wouldn't mind a Cap Snaffler, to be honest with you. But the word "Snaffle" makes me giggle a little. Who knew Ron Popeil was a wordsmith as well as an inventor?

    I use one of these things:



    Not a great picture but it's all I could find. It's just a thin rubber sheet and it works great.

    Have not seen the first product before. Love the colours of second product (they look like lollipops!)
