About THE HANDYAID Jar & Bottle Opener

The Handyaid Jar & Bottle Opener is the original, patented jar & bottle opener that Mom & Grandma had in their kitchens since 1941. Thicker than most "give-away" grippers, it PROTECTS the hand. Same family-owned company for over 50 years. ALWAYS Made in the USA! Manufactured currently in Plymouth, MA at a company called Pilgrim. A kitchen essential, the Handyaid makes a great, inexpensive gift. Customers say: "AWESOME!", "BEST EVER!", “NEVER FAILS”! The HANDYAID is more than just a jar & bottle opener. It's a multi-purpose gripper that can be used in KITCHENS, GARAGES, WORKSHOPS, RESTAURANTS, ASSISTED LIVING, HOSPITALS... anywhere that hands need help gripping. The Handyaid was originally designed and patented in Reading, Vermont in 1941. After recognizing it’s usefulness and potential, my parents purchased the company in 1972 and managed it for over 40 years. The patented design has remained unchanged since 1941, a testament to how innovative and purposeful the original design was. The material and color were changed in 2014, no longer made of rubber, but a stronger plastic-rubber material to improve the gripping action. Bright yellow makes it stand out in a kitchen drawer, easier to spot for a quick use! I kept my father's retro packaging, some people still recognize it hanging in a shop like it did decades ago.
