Contrary to what is written in the title, it is an original Jarkey I received. I ordered it here because I wanted it in white (color random among other vendors), and it is this color that I received. I was a little dubious at first as it's all plastic. I thought the portion that should have been lever metal for a sustainability issue but I just tested it on a jam jar and must exert very little force to get the air in the jar. After the "pop" obtained, the pot is opened without any difficulty. So I do not think the Jarkey quickly damage your main if all the jars are easy to open my cookie jar. Until now I used the sleeves of spoons but needed more force and now they are all twisted. Great tool that should be in every kitchen. It is made in Denmark which does not spoil anything so I do not rattle on a bit excessive prices for all plastic utensil. I'm tired of made in China ;-) I add that is guaranteed for 3 years.
