Get yourself a jar opener if you haven't already. It's a lifesaver!
Try this. Its small, compact and works every time. My parents had one when I was growing up that went to my brother. I finally found one for myself!
No problem! :-) Thanks! I will say that if the others don't work out, and want the Herbin, there are ways around it (I know this because my all-time favorite ink is by J. Herbin). The rubber grips that some pen stores sell are really helpful. But especially, jar openers in this style are invaluable.

I'm going to need you all to throw that junk away and order one of these... Swing A Way Comfort Grip Jar Opener ... You. Are. Welcome.
Swing-a-way jar opener is seriously the most underrated thing to buy for your kitchen. You might not use it often, but when you need it, it’s a godsend.
I grew up with one always in the house because my mom has a spinal cord injury and has a hard time gripping jars, and then I moved out and went 3 weeks with no pickles because I couldn’t get the jar open. I had to find a specialty store in my city that supplied this thing because I would never be without pickles like that ever again.
We use a metal jar opener by Swing Away and it’s amazing. I’m losing my ability to grip things without damaging my joints and this thing has saved the day so many times. I know it’s 35+ years old now and still works perfectly.
If you need a jar opener this thing has been in my moms kitchen since forever and it's the shit.
Try getting a gizmo like this.
Cheap, and it really works great.
It's a jar opener, like this:

It’s an old swing away jar opener.

If you can't get it by brute strength it's time to use some technology.

I got this for my my mom. She's got arthritis in her hands and this lets her open things easily.
This jar opener has never failed me. Does the job in just a few seconds every time.
Awfully aggressive for someone who lacks even the basic knowledge to recognize an affiliate link. Wow.
Here's some basic internet wisdom. Right click on a URL and select "copy link address". Paste that into a text editor. In this case you'll get:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HMC5JA?psc=1
That's the simplest possible Amazon link which my cat could recognize as not an affiliate link. But thanks so much for the bizarre accusation. Sheesh.
I'm pretty sure the combination of your hostility and your ignorance are a violation of rule #1.
Get this for her: Swing-A-Way Comfort Grip Jar Opener. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Have I got a great tool for you! Check out this old school one:
Or this one, with Prime?

I use the Swing-a-way jar opener that clamps around the lid with an adjustable arm. Way better than a rubber disk or whatever.

I got one of these a few years ago and it really is magic especially for jars of sugary things that are effectively glued shut
It is a jar opener? It allows for gripping the top of jars to take them off. One side is this: http://livingwithdisability.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/31lIBZ63D5L._SL500_AA300_.jpg
and the other side
your's might be missing a part for the bottom half, though...
