Review on πŸ”“ Brix JarKey Original JarPop Opener - Various Colours by Gabriel Salleh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Can opener *NO* bottle opener!

My translucent orange JarPop is so pretty! And it looks like the perfect bottle opener. But its soft material didn't withstand the opening of a Martinelli bottle. Instead, the open end simply chipped off. Revain's description says "blade material: stainless steel" which makes the item more durable than it actually is. No stainless steel parts; it's all plastic. So JarPop just gathered dust in my gadget drawer for years. Tonight I decided to give it another try and read your reviews. And now it all comes back to me. This pop jar is for airtight caps, not bottle caps. You just slide it under the lid of the pressure jar, lift it gently and smile at the comfortable cotton and easy-open lid. Yes, yes... now everything is back. That worked for me too. After all, it's a keeper. I just have to remember that this is a vacuum can opener, not a bottle opener. Moral of the story: use it like a drink from a can, not a bottle, and you'll live happily ever after. End.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
