A jar opener might not sound like a gadget you need in your kitchen, but we all run into a stubborn lid, eventually. And if you’re worried about another gadget cluttering your drawers, we found one that mounts underneath your cabinet so it doesn’t take up any extra space. Plus, it’s currently on sale for just $16 at Amazon.

The EZ Off Jar Opener comes with everything you need to install it to a cabinet, cupboard, counter, or shelf, including an adhesive backing and screws to secure the device. It is designed to tightly grip lids with its sharp metal teeth to open almost any sized jar in seconds. All you have to do is insert a jar into its V-shaped opening, twist, and the lid pops off. It’s no wonder it has more than 12,000 five-star ratings from shoppers, including some who say they use it every single day.

To buy: EZ Off Jar Opener, $16 (originally $20) at amazon.com

“I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters,” said one five-star reviewer who calls it the best gadget ever. “I have already placed an order for another one for a gift for my sister.”

The tool is particularly helpful for people with weak hands, including one who wrote, “I have weak and arthritic hands, which limits what I’m able to do. I used to have to make sure to have my husband open any jars I might need for the day before he left for work in the morning. But this works so well that I’m able to open almost any jar with it.”

Before installing the EZ Off Jar Opener, think about where it’ll be most convenient to have in your kitchen. Some shoppers suggest placing the jar opener under a corner cabinet, but near your stove would also be ideal since that’s where you usually do most of the cooking. Also consider mounting it with the opening facing away from you, so when you open a jar you pull the jar toward you instead of pushing it away. 

Typically $20, you can get the EZ Off Jar Opener for only $16 on Amazon right now. And if you order it now with a Prime membership, it’ll arrive before Christmas, so you can get one for yourself and give another as a gift.
