Will these make a nice smooth hole in the lid of a mason jar? I want to make drinking lids. Anyone tried this with this tool?

This will make a clean hole without burs in thin gauge metal. A Mason Jar lid qualifies as thin gauge sheet metal. However, this tool will leave a sharp edge on one side of the punched hole. The key to getting what you want is to make sure the female die (the one with the hole) is away from the drinking side of the lid. The male die (the one that actually punches the hole) tends to push the sharp edge away from it. It you are punching holes for straws you might want to use a small hammer and flatten the sharp side of the hole. Another trick is to use as a drill bit that is several sizes bigger than the hole punched. using nothing more than your fingers, gently twist the drill bit to shave off the sharpest edge. Hope that helps.

I am looking for a heavy duty hole punch. I have gone threw several hole punches and need one that makes smooth leather hole punches on literally a thousand usages. Will this do the job. ?

I think this is your best bet for punching holes in a mason jar lid. a drill will just make a mess. this punches nice clean holes in sheet metal.

I have not tried it, however, on our aluminum signs, the hole is perfectly punched and very smooth. Good Luck!

Not a clue as to why anyone would think of using a Mason Jar on a Blender??? Ummmmm...not a good idea it seems. However, I have this blender and it is GREAT! I Love it! Is powerful and easy to use...definitely recommend it. :) :) :)

I used them fine. Just make sure the lid is on securely or you'll make a big mess.

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that.Regards,Shelley

I don't think it would work on a mason jar lid. it works on jars with a screw on lid like jam and pickles and salsa etc.

I like Ball brand wide-mouth and regular size plastic caps for sealing mason jars. I use them to store leftovers in fridge as well as for freezing. They work well and i haven't noticed any leaking. Be sure to allow an inch headspace when freezing foods. They are NOT to be used for water bath or pressure canning.

They should be if you don't store them so water is against the lid. I wouldn't store them upside down, but they should work. They are small though, so I would suggest infusing whatever liquor you want in a mason jar and pouring it into the smaller jars. You'll be able to control your concentrations more that way.

I used them on glass jars with about a 4" opening. They have tne lids that clip. These jars are canisters of different sizes, but the openings are all the same. They would need a lip for seating. Hope that helps.

Can you? With a big hole saw bit, probably. But I don't know how these will hold up and seal against a thin metal lid like that. These are designed for sealing glass carboys. They're not as soft as some others but make a good seal against glass in my experience. The softer ones I've used have popped out during primary fermentation.

There are companies that make a wrench to fit the lid which creates equal pressure allowing easy opening (~27 bucks). I made mine with a jigsaw and a piece of plywood, tracing the lid notches...not pretty but works great.

Wow, that is a hard question to answer (get it?). What i have found is that they will drill very well so long as there is ample amounts of water to cool the bits. We have used them to cut holes through over 20 wine bottles and they still cut. We use lots of water to lubricate and cool the bits as well as to flush away the sludge. Heck if it takes a bit per two holes you're still doing well. These are not expensive bits to begin with. But they do cut through glass well.

No, we do not recommend using mason jars for your blender. They are designed for Oster accessories only.

I'm not sure. I actually found these cheaper at Walmart & returned them for a different size. They are not the same size openings as the mason jars I currently have though.

They will work... they are not sized as a wrench or nut driver... they are round but are aggressively made with sharp points to grab even if the hole is completely rounded. The problem here is these are QUITE SMALL and are made for removing very small screws. You can see by the image that they resemble "jewelers" screwdrivers 2-56, maybe up to 4-40, 6-32 is too large. Anything larger than 4-40 is probably not going to work. These work best on screws that are rounded off because someone was using a metric in lieu of a standard and vice-versa and the screw is not really imbedded with rust or threadlock for 30 years etc. Just want to emphasize, they are for tiny screws.

Cheryl, I'm not sure. The opening of a standard mason jar is 2 3/8. Your measurement might be a little off. Before you spend the money on these, I would suggest you try the lid of any regular mouth jar. If it fits, you should be good to go. I really do like the lids--used them for a baby shower and several people have asked to borrow them since.

Since mason jars are sealed with a separate lid from the screw on band, and the jar key would only break a seal---therefore just the sealed flat lid would be affected by jar key and i think it would work if there's enough lip on the flat lid to pry against.

Unfortunately it doesn't display the dimension. I'm certain the wide mouth lid will not fit on a regular sized mason jar. See regular sized cuppow lids/cuppow.com
