The Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety LidLifter is one of the most genuinely clever can openers available - a tool that works differently from every traditional can opener and solves the two problems that make standard can openers annoying: sharp edges and messy lids. Instead of cutting across the top of the can, the LidLifter attaches itself to the rim and cuts around the outside bead of the lid. The result is a lid with no sharp edges on either the lid or the can, and an opener that never touches the contents of the can.
The self-attaching mechanism is the standout feature. Position the opener on top of the can with the two half circles lined up with the rim, twist the knob clockwise, and the opener grips and begins cutting automatically. After a full circle you will feel the resistance drop - the can is open. Turn counter-clockwise to release. The built-in mini-pliers on the side of the opener (activated by pushing the button on the opposite side) grip the lid cleanly for removal without touching sharp metal. Ergonomic design requires minimal hand strength. Available in black.
Important note: the LidLifter does not cut from the top like a traditional can opener - it cuts into the bead of the lid from the side. Do not cut more than a full circle; over-cutting may create burrs. For domestic use only - not intended for commercial cans.
Care Instructions: Hand wash recommended. Dry thoroughly after washing.
