Review on 🔓 Effortless Lid Opening Made Easy: OXO Good Grips Jar Opener with Base Pad by Samuel Nguyen

I have the original and wanted a different one for vacation rentals. This one doesn't open jars at all! It's cheaper, and the remake has a thinner grip area, so the 'teeth' tend to nick the lids rather than loosen them. I am extremely disappointed. Why change the original design that worked so well? The photo shows how much wider the grip area is in the original grip (note that the tip fits easily in the groove). The new model cannot hold a pen at all.
