Handheld Manual Can Opener

No power, no batteries: a side-cut opener for tins and jars
£0.99 + £8.30 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 10-20 working days. Tracked.

A handheld stainless steel can opener that cuts around the side of the lid, leaving a smooth edge so the lid is safer to handle. It is a basic tool but essential for stored tinned food when the electric opener is useless.

Keep one in the kitchen and one in your go-bag. Wash and dry it after use to avoid rust.

Key features

  • No power needed
  • Side-cut leaves smoother edge
  • Stainless steel parts
  • Works on most standard tins
  • Simple, no moving electronics
  • Small enough for a kit

How to use it

Clamp the handheld opener on the rim of a tin and turn the handle to cut around the side of the lid.

  1. Wipe the top of the tin and put it on a firm, flat surface.
  2. Place the opener on the rim, lining up the cutting wheel with the side of the lid.
  3. Squeeze the handles together to clamp it onto the rim.
  4. Turn the handle or knob steadily all the way round the tin until the lid is cut free.
  5. Lift the lid off carefully, keeping fingers clear, and drop it into the tin or bin.
  6. Wash and dry the opener straight away to prevent rust.
Tips
  • Keep one in the kitchen and one in your go-bag, as electric openers do not work in a power cut.
  • Check the tin lid and rim before you eat or pour.
Safety and limits
  • Even with the smoother side-cut, the cut lid and tin rim can be sharp. Handle both with care.
  • Keep out of reach of young children, and take care not to slip.
Please note
  • Cutting wheel is sharp.
  • Check tin lid edges before handling.
