Arjay Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 We went to 3 places today looking for a jar opener, with no success. The kind that will turn the lid of a jar of jam when you can't get it open. We asked for el tarro abridor and el frasco abridor and they directed us to bottle openers that would open beer or cans of vegetables. Didn't manage to get the concept across. Does anyone know where we can buy one, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattya119 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Do you mean the flat soft discs? When I cant find mine, i just use rubber gloves, works just as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm30655 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 The best one that I have found, I purchased at the "Dollar Store" south west corner of Ajijic Plaza. I have no idea what it is called or where you might find it in that maze. The woman was unboxing and pricing them on the front counter the day I bought it. 20P and it will open anything from Coke bottles to pickle jars. It is a weird looking thing. Not the clamp type that I've always used but a bar about 8" long with a piece that slides along the bar to grip the cap. It's a multifunction tool that will open cans, pop tops, bottles, beer bottles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we have 2 in Toronto. One is an old metal loop with handles and the other is a triangular shape with a handle similar to the one on this link: http://www.elderluxe.com/oxo-good-grips-jar-opener/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo. We also tried SuperLake, El Torito and Wal-Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
