Does this jar opener work well for someone who has arthritis in her thumbs?

I'm with everybody else here on this. I have arthritis, especially bad in the thumbs, and if that weren't enough I have trigger thumb. I don't understand some of the 'this doesn't work' reviews. I'm weaker than probably 95% of people AND with arthritis, and this has been the best thing ever! Happened to break my arm the month after I bought this and it has become invaluable! I can not recommend this item enough. It is so easy that it was actually shocking when I first got it home. Everything from a bottle of water to a 4" diameter lid. Super easy even though many things for me are prohibitive with no strength and arthritis, and now the damaged arm/hand.

One answer said the wide end was 4.5" wide. But can a 3.75" dill pickle jar lid fit far enough in to the opener to grip it and facilitate opening it?

No. This opener only works well on lids under 3".

Does it open something as small as a half-litre pop bottle?

Yes works for all sizes of jars and bottles.

Is this supposed to have teeth on both sides or just one?

I have an old - 10 or so years? - OXO, and it has teeth only on one side. Only the teeth are metal - there is a non-serrated slim insert on the other side. Works very well......

Oxo Jar Opener

Sorry can't get it to work for me. Doesn't grip the lids I want to open.

Very sharp edge

We returned as was not suitable for us - has metal teeth along one side which are extremely sharp and could be dangerous for the user and also likely damage the jar tops. Have used other kitchen items from this brand which have been great so was disappointing.

Groot toestel dat werkt om de deksels van bokalen te openen. Gelukkig staat er een pijl op het toestel zodat je weet in welke richting je moet draaien. Eén keer goed geplaatst is het met het hefboomeffect gemakkelijk om een deksel los te maken.

Produit acheté il y a quelques années. Pas très pratique à utiliser. Il faut vraiment trouver le couvercle adapté sinon quand vous tournez l'ustensile dérape.

Easy to use and works a treat. Saves me asking for help all the time as I don’t have the strength in my wrist to undo lids as I once did.
