How large a jar will it open?

The largest jar I've opened is a pickle jar with a lid diameter of 3-1/4 inches. It can likely handle something a larger.

So far it has opened every jar we have used it on. I think as long as it can get a grip it will open the jar. I love my opener. Have given them as gift to almost everyone I know.

The widest part measures 4" This is the greatest gadget I own no need to ask for help opening a jar or water bottle.

rated to 4.5", I opened a 6" wide pickle jar by forcing it.. be careful if you use the blowtorch method..

It has been used on a 24oz jar of pickle chips...that is the largest I've tried. It seems to handle all sizes.

works well on smuckers peanut butter and everything else I've tried it on so far.

I bought the opener for my mom. She suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome. It will open everything from water bottles to pickle jars. She loves it and finds it very helpful.

many variables. what is shape? height? circumference? Cut out a few different sizes and see how they fit your jar?

Sorry I didn't respond before this. The bottom opening is 1 1/2", there is a ridge where it starts to widen that is about 2 1/4" it appears that it is designed to fit on top of your jars.

This funnel has an opening at the bottom of exactly 1 & 1/2 inches. The next measurement that would probably sitting on the lip if your canning jar is about 2 & 1/4 inches. The next measurement is about 2 & 1/2 inches. The top is 5 inches across. I think this would be ideal for your purpose. hope I make sense.

Tall doesn't seem to be an issue, but WIDE is! Some jars are too fat to fit in the opener. Also, I bought this for my 95 year old mom, and she couldn't work the thing. The lever to raise and lower the top was too hard for her to work because of her hand issues. Be advised.

Check size, the opening only needs to be larger enough. 2" or larger. Estimated.

The diameter of the inside of the opening is 1.75 inches, or 4.45 centimeters. The jar itself is 3 inches tall, by 2 inches by 2 inches (7.6 cm x 5.1 cm x 5.1 cm).

I would say about 4in wide. Seems to be sealed quite tight good luck trying to open it

The lip on the front opening is only about 6" wide so a traditional sized canning jar would not fit. The inside chamber however is almost 7 1/2" tall so a jar will fit standing up, however you would need to tilt it some to get it in / out. The lowest heat setting is 95 degrees. Hope this helps!

Sorry I have no idea. I do know that it works good for me as I can't open some jars easily.

I measured the opening, and this works best on caps 1 to 1.5 inches. I think that baby food jars may be wider than that, but you can measure. This works well on water bottles and small caps.

The diffuser is only 6 inches wide. Wouldn't really work well if you are canning more than one jar.

Well, I can't actually tell you since I don't have a "standard" size "Simply Organic" spice jar to test it in since I don't have "Simply Organic" spices on the shelf. However, I can tell you that the width of the teaspoon size is 1- inch across the oblong bowl. So if you can measure your spice jar opening that'll give you the answer.

As long as the cap fits where it turns to open the jar size doesn't matter.

Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

I tried it on the standard mason jars I have and it's smaller in diameter - but I'm no expert on Mason jars - the jars I tried are about 3" openings whereas the opening on the grinder is about 2.25" (58mm) ID. So no match to the inventory of jars I have!
