Description

Open a can and keep your fingers out of the lid. This side-cut opener uses a stainless steel wheel on the side of the head, so the cut stays on the rim and the edge stays away from your hand. The lever clamp and contoured handle take the strain off your wrist.

Safety side-cut can opener for effortless, smooth opening

Solves
  • sharp lids and jagged edges after opening
  • hand strain from hard-to-turn openers
  • finger cuts from top-cut openers

Open cans cleanly, without the sharp edge.

Stop wrestling stiff crank openers and cutting your fingers on jagged lids. The side wheel leaves a smoother rim, and your hands stay clear.

A side wheel that keeps your hand clear

The wheel rolls along the side of the lid, so the blade never sits on the edge you touch. You get a smooth rim instead of the jagged ring a top-cut opener leaves behind.

Light pressure, clean results

Clamp the lever and turn the contoured handle. The grip sits in the palm, so you are not forcing a crank with your wrist. Most of the work comes from the clamp.

Hangs out of the way

A hole at the end of the handle lets you hang the opener on a hook or clip it to a pack. It takes up little room in a utensil drawer.

Clamp, turn, lift. Done.

  1. 1
    Clamp the lid

    Set the wheel on the rim and close the lever clamp until it seats firmly on the lid.

  2. 2
    Turn the handle

    Turn at a steady, even pace. The side wheel rolls around the rim while the clamp holds the lid in place.

  3. 3
    Lift the lid off

    Lift the lid by its edge only. The cut rim stays smooth, and your fingers never touch the blade.

Rinse, dry, and it stays ready

  • Rinse the wheel

    Run the wheel under water after each can to clear food residue from the cutting edge.

  • Dry before storing

    Wipe the steel dry before it goes back in the drawer so moisture does not sit on the metal.

  • Hang it up

    Use the hanging hole to keep it off a damp counter between uses.

Questions and answers

Is a side-cut opener actually safer than a top-cut one?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, for your hands. A top-cut opener bites into the lid from above, so the blade and the lid edge sit right where your fingers go. The side wheel cuts from the side, which keeps the blade off the rim you touch and leaves a smoother edge.

How much hand strength does the lever clamp need?
w
Wanelo · seller

Less than a crank opener. Seat the clamp, then turn the contoured handle at an even pace. Most of the work comes from the clamp, so your wrist does not do the forcing.

Is the stainless wheel worth it at this price?
w
Wanelo · seller

The wheel is the part that does the job, and it is polished stainless steel. A cheap opener that slips or dulls means a new one in a few months and more cut risk in the meantime. This one is built to stay in the drawer for years.

Does it work on both standard and larger cans?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is built for standard food cans. Clamp the lid first, then check that the wheel sits on the rim before you turn. Very large or unusual can sizes may not seat the clamp well.

Can I hang it up when I am done?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The handle has a hanging hole at the end, so it can sit on a hook or clip to a camping pack. Hanging it also keeps it off a wet counter.
