the one on the left many years ago - it works like a bottle opener and releases the vacuum

A vote for the 'key' on the left of Kim's picture. It works like a charm and takes up minimal space in a drawer. I was a sceptic but it's a winner.

Here are my main go-to tools.  A pair of adjustable pliers and a jar seal opener from Lee Valley.  Both work very well for me.  Plus Mr. Ed when all else fails.  DSC03618.thumb.JPG.513ad66ed6b99d8ec5cf0132595cba20.JPG

Those Lee Valley jar seal gizmos are wonderful! I use mine all the time!

Don't know what I would do without mine.
