I am looking for a jar opener that does not require the user to hold the jar up. I built something out of wood that sits down on the lid and then allows the user (my mother-in-law w/ parkinsons) to twist the jar. But ideally she need a motor assist. Something that can sit on a counter, yet be moved out of the way when not needed is desired. We tried a variety of commericial items, but all required her to lift the jar up to the gadget.
