Unfortunately, it was purchased as a gift and I do not have the answers to this question. I would check with black & decker.

Have never thought of it in those exact terms, but if it will help you make a decision concerning whether to purchase or not, I just went to the device and can tell you: it will accommodate a jar about 8 1/2" in height. The base of the jar and lid should be no more than 3 3/4". In the time that I have had it, I've only encountered one or two instances where the jar was too wide for the device. Good for anyone with arthritis and particularly one who lives alone and doesn't have a partner to help with opening difficult jars.

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

If the pop lid is the same size as a beer lid it would. But as an opener I didn't buy it really to open my beer lids. It has 2 prongs in the back and you can break the "seal" of just about any jar that is sealed so tightly. I do have other types of openers but none that worked as well as this device for jars. Yet the lid screws back on again and is useable. Opening jars seems to be its main purpose; however, the circular part is a new addition. I had one 15 years ago I bought at the beach that did not even have the "bottle" opener part.

No problem. I have found no limit on the size of cans it will open - large or small.

Well it depends on the opener. You should probably call the manufacturer and find out

The best way to make sure is to measure the opening. This item is 2 1/2" in diameter. I think most jars are pretty much the same size. Hope this helps.

The opener works fine on large cans as long as there is sufficient vertical clearance. For an especially tall can you may need to position the opener close to the counter edge.

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.

I just measured the biggest slot or circle and it's 3.25 inches in diameter. There's no way it would open a 4.5 inch jar. I take that back- you can stretch the two ends 4.5 inches apart so a jar 4.5 inches would fit between the smallest circles. That may work. Hope this helps.

This canner is 11.5 inches across the base. Inside height is 9", not including the lid. The National Center for Home Canning (University of Georgia) states the canner bottom should not exceed the diameter of the burner by more than 2"; they offer an excellent book "So Easy to Preserve" with tested recipes and methods for safe home canning. Jar capacity depends on the size of jars (1/2 pint, pint and quarts). I've used this canner to process jams and pickles - the only complaint I have is when processing quarts the lid allows boiling hot water to "spit" out around the lid. Last night I had to constantly monitor and soak up hot water that landed on the kitchen floor and range top. Since I have a glass top range I inspected the canner thoroughly upon arrival, feeling the bottom for any imperfections - I felt a tiny "burr" which I managed to rub out using fine emery cloth.

Its about 7.5 inches to a little over 8.5"I open large cans like tomato juice and 7 inch high cans of college inn broth with no trouble. I am very satisfied.

I have used this wonderful canning tool for over 5 years... use it from everything to 4oz - quart size jars... it is the greatest! :0) ... plenty of room for quart jars to have 2 inches of water above them for the 'waterbath' ...

Hi, My guess would be about 15 1/2" with it's lid open. I can't measure exactly as the lid is no longer on it. I don't think I recommend this can anymore. Ours stopped working within the first year of owning. It was perfect when it operated, but failed the long term test. My husband is an excellent handyman (he built our house-completely) and he couldn't get it working again. I hope this helps.

Are you able to fit the opener over the jar's lid? Here are general instructions: This device has 3 parts. 2 things you grab as the user: the handle (the big thing sticking out) and the screw top dial thing (the wedge thing on the disk), and 1 thing on the opener that grabs onto the jar: the teeth. The wedge on the disk controls how the opener grabs the jar's lid, and the handle controls how you open the jar after the opener grabs said lid. Put the opener on top of the jar with the teeth down on the lid. Pinch the screw dial wedge top of the opener and turn it to the left. The teeth will open wider as you turn left. Turn the top left until the teeth fit around the cap of the jar. Then turn right until they dig into the jar's lid. Then use the handle to turn the opener which is now screwed into the jar's lid to rotate the lid off the jar by putting one hand on the jar to hold it still, putting your other hand on the opener handle, and then turning the opener handle lefty loosey.

the diameter of the jar part is 2 3/4 inches. If you want to know the widest part of the black handle it is more like 4 inches in diameter.

This opener stands 9 inches tall and the opener device is right under the top so it would open a can that fits under 9 inches.
