A side-cut wheel that does the work

Side-cut wheel, steady control
The stainless wheel sits on the rim and turns under steady hand control, so the lid comes off without punching or forcing. Set the wheel, turn slowly all the way around, then lift the lid with the hook.

Soft grip that stays put
The matte soft-touch handle has a contoured grip that holds steady when your fingers are damp. You squeeze less and twist less, and the opener stays where you put it from the first can to the last.

Guarded head, cleaner rim
A guard covers the cutting head, so your fingers stay clear of the blade area. The side-cut method leaves a more even rim than a punch-style opener, which means fewer rough edges on the lid.
Open a can in four steps
- 1Set the wheel on the rim
Place the cutting wheel on the rim of the can with the guard over the cutting head. Press it down gently so it seats.
- 2Turn slowly around the rim
Turn the handle steadily all the way around. Forcing it before the wheel seats is what leaves a rough edge.
- 3Lift with the hook
When the cut is complete, slide the lid lifter hook under the lid edge and lift it off. Keep your fingers away from the rim.
- 4Wash, dry, and hang
Wash by hand in warm soapy water, dry it fully, then hang it through the hole at the end of the handle.
Keep the wheel sharp and the handle clean
- Hand wash
Use warm soapy water, then dry the opener fully before you store it.
- Skip high heat
Dishwasher heat and harsh detergent dull the wheel and wear the plastic handle.
- Check the wheel
Look at the cutting wheel now and then for wear, since a worn wheel slips on the rim.

Questions and answers
Yes. The wheel sits on the rim and turns, so you steer the can rather than pressing down and twisting. A manual side-cut opener also costs far less than an electric model and takes no counter space. If you want a fuller comparison, see our can opener range.
The guard covers the cutting head, and the side-cut method leaves a smoother rim than a punch-style opener. The edge is still metal, so lift the lid by the hook and keep your fingers off the rim after the cut.
The handle is a sturdy plastic with a soft-touch finish. Wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it fully. Keep it out of the dishwasher on high heat, since that is the fastest way to wear down the handle and dull the wheel.
Yes. The contoured soft-touch grip holds steady when your fingers are damp or slick. Wipe the top of the can first if it is oily, and the wheel will seat more easily.
It is compact and has a hanging hole at the end of the handle. Dry it completely before bagging it with your food, and hang it on a tool wall organizer in the pantry when you are home.
