Are the gem jars snap tops, or screwed to close tops?

They just sit on top not really snapped but I have had very little trouble with them coming open during travel

It can be a little confusing to figure out which way the various parts of the top assembly are supposed to be oriented. The best way I found is to just rest the bottle cap on top, as if you were sealing the bottle. Then look at the metal part of the assembly. The two prongs fit into little depressions on the neck of the bottle. You can just slide them along the glass until they snap into place. You can remove them again if you have to. If the cap assembly is oriented the right way, you'll then be able to push down on the curved part to force the lid further down into the mouth of the bottle and seal it. You may have to flip the whole curved metal part up on it's little hinge and over the top of the bottle so that it's oriented the right way. It took me a couple of tries the first time, and then I used the bottle I'd done correctly as a guide to the other ones.

They work well on my half-gallon and quart wide mouth cannister jars, which have the metal clasps that clip down to tighten the glass lid up against the rubber gasket. This type jar used to be called an "easy seal jar." Hope this helps.

Mine twisted. They make tops that pop on too. I think those are better. Mine leaks if not screwed on properly.

They just snap closed. I use for dog and cat food storage. I can't smell the dog food once they close. They close pretty tight.

They are stored vertically..They would unsnap immediately if you stored them horizontally..However I have had a much better experience with the single snap and store boxes..No problems with the single ones.

They are screw on jars, but they don't have the inserts for shaking. You have to pour carefully or use your fingers.

Only the top screws off. BTW, I ordered two of them and they were both bent because of other things that were thrown into the box with them. I sent them back and bought two at Fred Meyer...FYI.

I figured it out! You need to be careful which end caps you put on which sides. The endcaps with the screw holes need to go on to the bottom. The casters screw into those screw holes.When my wife and I were assembling the clothing rack, we put the endcaps that were supposed to go on the top on the bottom and vice versa, meaning that the bottom didn't have anything to screw the casters into it.A little disassembly of the rack, a swapping of the endcaps, some reassembly, and we were back in business!

They snap on and are fairly tight. Just pull straw up when snapping lid in place so they don't spill.

You are right. There is nothing holding them together. They are just stacked upon each other nicely. They worked out perfect for us, no more lost jewelry!

I've left the top on ...with no issues. In fact, I never remove it. May take a bit longer...but I'm not losing beads or dealing with hassle of putting them back in either.

You have to press them in to the base far enough to engage the snap ring. If you are pressing them in as far as possible and they are still falling out you may have defective parts. There will becan audible "click" when the wheel casters are all the way in.

The lids fit standard pint jars. My original lids that came with the jars were one piece with the rubber seal inside. So when I replaced them I needed both the screw on lid and the rubber seal piece I love these jars and beg for people to return them. Of course, some do and some don't. Very pretty jars IMHO.

No, there isn't a trick haha. Mine really snap shut pretty hard so it takes a little strength to get them open but I never had a problem. Good luck.

The boxes come with the lids detached, and then you just set the lids on top of the bin. They don't clasp on super great, but with the weight of the other boxes, we dont have problems with the bottom two coming off at all, and we have set stuff on top of our very top box in our broom closet. I hope that makes sense! :)
