I have used this for I bet 20 years from Lee Valley. Works every time.

Friend showed me his way years ago (when neither of us had arthritis).
He turned the jar upside down and hit the lid flat on the counter, (not too hard, just a sharp rap).
It was enough to break the vacuum seal and then the lid just screwed off very easily.
I've used the method for anything in a glass jar or bottle: e.g. juice, jam/preserves, pickles, olives, etc.
