We use one of these Brabantia grippers, bottles, jars any sort of twist or prise lid, they all succumb to this handy gadget.

The lid on the PB jar was plastic. Most soft drink caps are plastic, cut then off with a large, sharp, serrated knife.RE: your title. Gee I hope not! I can't imagine how you are able to cut the tops off jars and bottles! Seems like that would take strength and dexterity. Usually runnung really hot water over the lids & caps works for me. Also twisting them with paper towels (or if you use dish cloths) helps
You can tell your pharmacist not to give you child proof caps.I have trouble with the child proof prescription bottles that you have to push down and turn at the same time. I hate those things! Once I finally get it open, I don't close it completely again. Then I just try to remind myself that I am strengthening the muscles in my hand and arm!
Thank you! I will try that the next time I need to call in a refill.You can tell your pharmacist not to give you child proof caps.

I should have thought of that. But I didn't.You can tell your pharmacist not to give you child proof caps.
I didn't think of it either so you're not alone.I should have thought of that. But I didn't.
Well now I feel really non-observant and silly, I just checked my two prescriptions and they both have that option! They look kind of funny with upside down lids tho.On some prescription bottle lids you just flip them over and they just easily unscrew like that. The other way you have to push down and turn.
No your neither I just happen to figure it out several years back and you will get use to the funny look but your right it does look different.The pharmacy should tell people "you can flip the caps" if they have that option lol.Well now I feel really non-observant and silly, I just checked my two prescriptions and they both have that option!

I use a nutcracker too . I find I need them on soft drinks and water bottles esp after they sit in the fridge for a while.Pliers are a good idea. I also use a nutcracker. Hardly ever open jars anymore, but that's how I did it! Oh, to your original query: Probably.
I love electric can openers...would never go back to the hand ones. I find I need to use leverage to open some of the flip tab tops because at times the tabs break off and I have to try and use my electric can openerFor some unknown reason my DH thinks we need an electric can opener. He doesn’t cook but sometimes I’m thankful to have it. It’s tucked away in the cupboard, so it’s not taking up space.. I detest those tab things. I have to pry them up and they fight me when I go to yank the lid up.
I only recognize calling the top 4 church keys...are the others also called that??I used to know what a church key was but forgot. I don't hang around with enough drinkers I guess!

Anything that opens a beer bottle qualifies, as far as I know.I only recognize calling the top 4 church keys...are the others also called that??
Makes sense! I guess I never saw the bottom 2 but have used the 2nd one on the top line and both on the 2nd lineAnything that opens a beer bottle qualifies, as far as I know.
Sorry I missed your question but NorthernLight answered it for me. I insert the pointed end between the cap and jar and push down. It releases the vacuum.Sorry to sound dumb @DebraMae , but what is a "church key?" Do you have a photo of it? Thanks.
