Explorers Examine A New Jar Opener

Longevity Explorers discuss and explore a newly invented type of jar opener. Since many have difficulty gripping and opening jars, the group showed interest in trying out a prototype jar opener.

As they handed it around  tried it out, some of the comments were: 

• Really clever - you don't have to hold the jar.
• Cumbersome, may cause spills
• It came apart - Too complicated
• Opens reasonably small, but not very small sized jars.
• Loosens, but does not remove lids
• Slips on some lids, perhaps better for one-handed use
• Needs clear instructions

The group consensus is that it is a clever device, but will benefit from some design refinements.

Members go on to describe their usual and customary methods of opening jars.
