Abstract
Rotating or pressing one or more handles will rotate one or more cams which push on the lid side. This causes a lever to rotate and forces two opposing jaws to press on the jar. With further rotating or pressing, the cam(s) rotates more and its rough surface or teeth forces the lid to rotate with high torque. Since the cam size is smaller than the lid diameter, much less force is needed to open the lid. And since the jar lid opener grips both the lid and the jar at the same time, there is no need to hold the jar tight while rotating or press the handles.

- a link coupled to one end of said arm;
- first lever wherein said first lever slides on said arm;
- second lever rotationally coupled to said first lever;
- first jaw coupled to bottom of said link;
- second jaw coupled to bottom of said second lever;
- at least one cam rotationally coupled to top of said second lever, wherein said at least one cam is coupled directly or through a gear to said one or two handles, wherein said at least one cam has at least one of a rough surface or teeth or pins or a gripping material;
