Brisbane renter confused by mystery gadget in her new home before it was revealed as a jar opener

A renter was left perplexed by a strange gadget on the bottom of a kitchen cupboard in her new home.

The woman, from Brisbane, Australia, shared her confusion online and asked users if anyone knew what the round object could possibly be.

And it turns out the round contraption attached to the bottom of her kitchen cabinet in her new rental’s kitchen and had two long, spiked blades on one side. 

Some people offered their suggestions as to what the bizarre object could be before dozens revealed its real function as a jar opener. 

‘Just moved into a new place and have this stuck to the bottom of the cupboard does anyone know what this could be,’ the woman asked in a post,

The opener can grab hold of any lid when wedged between the two sides. The blades provides grip and a simple twist will release the lid

‘Looks a like part of the turning shelf like lazy Susan and the rest went elsewhere,’ one group member guessed. 

However many confirmed the item was a jar opener.

‘I’ve got one and works really well,’ one woman said and another called the gadget the ‘best thing ever’ but a third said she ‘can’t get the hang’ of hers. 

The opener can grab hold of any lid of a jar or bottle when wedged between the two angled sides whether it’s factory-sealed, child-proofed or even screwed on too tightly.

The blades provides grip and a simple twist will release the lid.

It if often used by people with mobility issues, arthritis or weak hands and is designed to be fitted to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet to save bench space.
