OXO Openers
OXO Good Grips products feature soft, flexible handles made out of Santoprene,
a processed rubber, to ensure a comfortable grip. Embedded 'fins' on handle sides flex under
pressure and conform to individual finger grips. The fins also give users control even when the
handle is wet or slippery. Our large handles are proportionately designed to fit easily in the palm.

this can opener is a thing of beauty, and for a can opener that's saying something! But a can opener

do its job with ease. Your ease that is, because the soft, slip-resistant grips and knob make operation
a breeze. Dishwasher Safe. |

i-Series Jar Opener — Give the calluses on your hand a
merciful reprieve with this OXO Good Grips jar opener, which opens
jars of all sizes. Borne of OXO's high-performance i-Series line of
premium kitchen tools, the opener fits everything from small mustard
jars to large containers of pasta sauce. To use, place the included
nonslip base pad underneath the jar, and then rest the opener itself
atop the jar lid. After a quick counter-clockwise turn, the lid
should loosen easily. The opener works by leveraging its riveted
stainless-steel teeth against the secure traction generated by the
pad. Even the most stubborn jars don't stand a chance. The base pad
features a unique handle designed to fit the contours of your hand.
Chefs can choke up on the handle to provide additional leverage, or
grip it normally for a more comfortable fit. The opener fits
conveniently inside the base pad for storage, which has a hanging
hole at the end of the handle. The stainless jar opener is
dishwasher-safe, though OXO recommends hand washing the base pad if
necessary. |

grips Jar Opener is the perfect tool for easily opening all size
jars, from small condiment bottles to large tubs of mayonnaise. The
innovative base pad reduces the force required to open a jar by
keeping the jar secure on the countertop. Simply place the nonslip
base pad under the jar, slide the Jar Opener over the jar lid and
twist counter- clockwise to loosen the lid. The nonslip base pad
attached to the Jar Opener for storage. |

Zinc Winged Corkscrew — The OXO Good Grips Self-Pulling
Corkscrew accommodates all wine bottles. Features an internal foil
cutter with flexible, non-slip push tabs on the outside of the

of the body of the corkscrew if accidentally dropped. |

pulling. Simply turn the soft, comfortable knob to lower the

to lift the cork out of the bottle. The Corkpull features a
comfortable and easy-to-use foil cutter built into the soft knob.

soft grip for comfort. A long handle provides leverage needed for
