I love the classico jars once I realized that I could use them for canning...I like the size...I like the look of them....but I don’t buy much tomato sauce since I can a lot of tomatoes but when they are on sale, I think its worth having some of it around....

here’s a question....on many videos from Russia or other easter Europeon countries, they can their stuff using just a one piece lid and then use a contraption to tighten it.....anyone know what that is called or where one could get one?

No, Ive never seen anything about the Russian style jar and lid system you mentioned.

I did a Google search and these are the only references I came up with and they don’t provide much info.

There is a photo at the first link.

If that what you are referring to it appears to be a jar top that is crimped on the jar which would be consistent with your mention
that some sort of tool is used with the Russian style lids.

It does sound interesting though.
