Kuhn Rikon Can Opener, Lid-Lifting Pincers, Stainless Steel Blade, Red | Tin Openers for Arthritis Hands, Smooth Edge Side Cutting for Safety, Push Button Mini Pliers for Removing Lids, Swiss Design

Fed up with useless can openers that failed to grip consistently. We bought this and it it brilliant. Grips the rim instantly and cleanly and safety cuts into the tin. So effortlessly, we thought it wasn’t working the first time we used it.

Like other reviews have said, this is an amazing can opener, but takes some getting used to. But it only took 2 cans for me to get the hang of it. I'm the type that believes she knows how to work any gadget straight out of the box without instructions and got tripped up on how to release the opener from the can. So from my experience, tips that might help you out: - Just place the lid of the can between the 2 blades/gears until you feel resistance, like a normal can opener. - Turn the handle clockwise until you no longer feel resistance. I didn't even worry about the handle being at a specific o'clock when I started like the instructions suggest. - Then give the handle a quick counter-clockwise turn to release the can opener from the tin. This was the important step I missed without reading the instructions and just assumed I could lift it off once I finished going around the can. - At this point you won't be able to lift the lid unless you have good strong nails. But, that's the whole point of having the mini-pliers on the side of the opener. Just place them over the lip of the can, press the white button to grip, lift up and Viola! Your can is open. Seems like a lot of steps for a simple gadget, but it really is simple and faster than more traditional can openers once you get the hang of it. Tips aside, this is the best can opener I've ever owned and I've had both manual and electric. And here's why: - No sharp edges - as advertised - so I don't cut myself when emptying or washing the can for recycling like I used to. I even use it on pull-ring cans for this reason. My only advice is, even though it's rounded, it's still a thin piece of metal, so I still handle the cans with care. But I did the whole infomercial thing of running my fingers around the lid and top of the can after I opened my first one and was so pleased not to feel anything jagged! - I rarely hold the can to lift of the lid, because it's so easy to do with the mini-pliers. This is awesome for avoiding getting liquid on my hands - esp. for smellier items like tuna. - Given the unique cut provided by this opener, you can reuse the can lid for storage. I wouldn't recommend doing it for more than 1-2 days as it's not air tight. But the lid does slot right back down on the can. So for things like tuna where I may only use half a can a day for lunch, instead of emptying the 2nd half of the can into another storage container, I just pop the lid of the can back on and put it in the fridge. LOVE this! - Finally, it has a smooth action and isn't hard to turn. My mom doesn't have arthritis, but her hands aren't as strong as they used to be so I thought about getting her this for a present because it's so easy to turn. All in all, I love this can opener. I can't comment on it's use on small cans yet, as others have mentioned, as I've yet to use any. So I've kept my old clunky opener if/when I find this doesn't work on smaller can sizes. But for now I'm totally happy with the purchase and actually look forward to opening cans!

I've had one of these for a decade now, and it's showing no signs of issues (usually tin openers seem to last 5 minutes). A testament to how amazing these tin openers are is I've bought one for pretty much every friend and family member and they've all loved them/ Really easy to turn (my mother has arthritis in her hands and she's fine with this opener), no more sharp can edges to risk cuts etc. All round best tin opener I've ever used. These guys have a customer for life, though the tin opener may outlive me, I'll keep on dishing them out to people as gifts

I like it. It takes a little bit of practice at getting it lined up and started. But then it opens the can without leaving any sharp edges (it basically unfoldes the crimp). The tool for grabbing the lid helps if the lid is reluctant to separate once uncrimped, which happens occasoinally. I have found a couple of cans it won't open. Not sure why, something not quite standard about the can's construction I suspect. So I've not thrown away the old can opener. But this one is definitely quicker and easier to use on the 95% of cans it does work with. And no sharp edges. Also no squeezing two handles together, so would be suitable for someone with wrist weakness, arthritis, etc.

Been through too many cheap tin opener's to count. This has lasted ages and has no signs of degradation to the action. Opens tins easily and leaves no sharp edge which is a nice touch. Very easy to use and action is very smooth. I’d say I would buy again, but I’m not sure I’ll need to with how well it works.

Useless, binned! After trying on an assortment of tins it will cut through after many complete rotations and usually requires you to prise it off the last bit. This is then likely to cut you!

Once you follow the instructions, it works brilliantly and very cleanly. Of all the can openers I've used, this one produces the safest edge with a really neat way of lifting the lid off safely without getting your fingers dirty. It's a chunky can opener but requires less effort than more old fashioned ones. Unfortunately it's plastic, but I do see it possibly being the last can opener I buy as it's very sturdy and well made.

The best can opener ever. Love it. Initially you think 🤔 how does this work as instructions are a bit difficult to understand. I went online and got it in minutes. It just latches on to tin and away you go. Definitely would give 10 🌟 rating

It’s not as effortless as described. Some moderate force is needed. Not for people with arthritis

Los que publicitan es cierto. Abre las latas de forma limpia y sin dejar borden cortantes. Las deja tan bien que hasta podría usar las latas para alguna manualidad.

Todo perfecto

La marca lo dice todo, la verdad ya me había cansado de otros abrelatas que al final siempre se oxidan fácilmente o se descomponen, aunque el precio es mas elevado que otros la calidad es muy buena, es super sencillo de abrir, no deja los bordes de la lata filosos y saca completamente la tapa sin dejarla "mordisqueada". es muy sencillo de utilizar. Lo volvería a comprar.

Ik heb, lang geleden, zo'n soort blikopener gezien. Nu ik een nieuwe nodig had, heb ik deze aangeschaft. Ik ben er echt heel blij mee. Wat een top ding. Ligt goed in de hand, weinig kracht voor nodig en klus snel gedaan. Geen scherpe randen, dus ook nog eens veilig. Had ik jaren eerder moeten doen!
