Does anybody know how to open stubborn pickle jars?

...Short of breaking the glass, of course.

Rubber jar openers. You can find them just about anywhere.

Can I make a homemade version? If I spend money on this pickle jar the pickle jar wins :/

You can pierce the lid, with the tip of a knife, a screwdriver, or a hammer and nail.
You just need a tiny hole, the pressure difference comes off, and it should open easily.
They're pickles, so they won't spoil.
Stick a knife between the border of the lid and the glass so that the tip of the knife gets into the glass thread. Then crank it upwards carefully. If you are doing it right then air can enter the jar and you can open it effortlessly.
Tap the lid on the side edge, on the edge of a table to help break the air suction on the lid.
Or turn jar upside down, then right way up again to help break the air suction. :).
This hopefully will get you out of a pickle and preserve your sanity. :).
throw the jar to the floor.pick the pickles from the floor,clean the juice on the floor.clean the broken glass from the floor.Dont eat more than you need.i think 3 or 4 pickles is enough.Put the rest of the pickles into a plastic bag and keep them in the refrigerator.

You see, there's always a way, you circumvented the apparent problem with opening Jars of Pickles, by way of extreme violence combined with good housekeeping skills lol. :).
