Open your cans/tins with hygiene in mind courtesy of the Auto Safety LidLifter from Kuhn Rikon. Once attached via the automatic, ‘lock-on’ mechanism, the opener removes lids without any contact whatsoever with the contents of the can/tin. It also prevents the all-too-common problem of lids falling into the can/tin. The device is safe to use as well as being hygienic: it doesn’t actually cut the metal, which ensures that unwanted sharp edges do not remain on either the can/tin or the lid. After a full rotation around the lid - and a noticeable reduction in resistance - the can/tin is open (and no more turning is required). To complete the job, simply lift the lid from the can/tin using the mini-pliers/pincers.
Designed for maximum hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination - opener never touches the food within cans/tins and lids won’t fall into the can/tin
Automatically attaches via ‘lock-on’ technology that grips the lid (no need to clamp it on)
Safer than traditional openers - device opens cans/tins without cutting the metal, which leaves no sharp edges on the rim or lid
Lids are removed via mini-pliers/pincers once opened so no handling is required (see ‘Product description’ section below for instructions on how to use). Also includes a ring-pull opener
Easy to clean (wipe with a damp cloth; don’t put in the dishwasher). Dimensions: 8 (L) x 2.5 (W) x 2. 75 (H) inches

Title: Really works! Sleek & simple.
Review: This manual can opener works better than my electric one. It simply fits on the can. It’s not too hard to twist and comes off with little effort. It has a pincher on the side to grab the can lid so your hands stay clean. The opener never touches the contents of the can.

Title: The best can opener, ever!
Review: We have used a dozen or more can openers over the decades, and really, from swill army knives, to electrics, to hang grips, they were all lacking ease of use, and not dropping the cut top into the crushed tomatoes! This is a well-made, smooth, easy can opener that leaves no sharp edgers, doesn’t jump off the track, and is easy to use. (Note that you have to learn a new way of aligning the opener on top instead of the side of the can!) This is a very cool tool!

Title: Read the directions
Review: I can’t tell you how many can openers I’ve destroyed over the years. I’ve bought cheap ones and expensive ones and they all seem to break after a few months, so I decided to try one that opens cans a little differently.This one is actually pretty comfortable and easy to use, but it’s not intuitive. I had to read the directions a few times, and my husband, a stats guy, took a few tries before he got it. If your joints ache or if you have arthritis I would imagine this would be much easier to use since you’re not squeezing to break the seal.Not having sharp edges is a game changer for sure. It’s nice to be able to use the top if the can as a lid if you need to. So far it seems to be pretty durable and I like that the cutting edge is protected, so no pinching or slicing up your hands by accident.Overall I’m pleased with it and it seems like it’ll last a lot longer than the others.

Title: Works well but make sure your teeth stay clean!
Review: I found this can opener simple and wonderfully efficient at first. It opened cans easily, with no mess and no sharp edges. However, it started to become less effective at cutting within 2 months of opening one or two cans a day. after a while, it took two full trips around the can to take off the top, and the tops were getting harder to remove, even with the pliers. It stopped working altogether just when the Amazon return window closed. So started to write to the manufacturer to take them up on their guarantee. They ask for photos, and when I started to take them, I noticed an irregularity in the little teeth on the cutting wheel. I cleaned the wheel gently with a wire brush, and it turned out to be paper fibers from the can labels, built up little by little in the teeth of the wheel. The wire brush got most of it in just 3 or 4 sweeps, then I picked out a couple very compressed bits with the point of a sharp knife. Now the can opener works like new again. The moral of the story: brush your teeth!

Review: A great can opener that isn't like the old kind that would cut your hands up if you had to reach in to take out the cut off lid. It takes a bit of a getting used to as it doesn't cut as you would expect. It cleanly takes the top off from the side without any sharp edges. Great once you get used to it.

Review: Nachdem unser alter Dosenöffner nicht mehr richtig funktionierte, habe ich mich nach einem Ersatz umgeschaut und bin bei Kuhn Rikon pfündig geworden.Dieser Dosenöffner ist robust gearbeitet und macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck. Er liegt gut in der Hand und öffnet die Dosen schnell, ohne dass Splitter entstehen und man den Deckel problemlos wieder auf die Dose setzen kann. Bin zunächst mit dem Produkt zufrieden.

Review: Yo lo tengo desde hace unos años, estos los he comprado para regalar, pues cuando me lo ven en casa gusta mucho. Es un abrelatas muy seguro, lo que hace es desaprensar la tapa en vez de cortarla. Hay que aprender a usarlo, al principio cuesta un poco porque hay que colocarlo bien, pero luego es una tranquilidad porque no corta ni la tapa ni la lata, ya no preocupa cortarse ni al abrir ni en la basura.Muy recomendable.

Review: I still don't quite understand how it works, but it does. It's nice that there are no sharp edges and the lid doesn't fall into the can.
