I have hundreds of Gerber jars from the last 11 years, and I can say, without exception, the lids are nearly impossible to screw back on! They were not designed for reuse, so the plastic threads in the lid simply do not line up well with the threads on the jar. I do use them for storage of things I expect I will rarely use, since getting the lid on and off is such a chore. This is a great IDEA, but the actual execution may be problematic.
