Culinare C10401 MagiPull Ring Pull Tin Opener, Blue, Plastic, Manual Can Opener, Use On Any Size Can/Tin Ring Pulls

Whether it is old age or a result of the medication some of us elderly people end up having to take, I have discovered that the tips of my fingernails have become more brittle these days and that a ring-pull will occasionally do a bit of damage to them when opening a can. This is why I decided to acquire one of these 'magipull' ring-pull openers by 'Culinare'. It will get under and tug up even the most tightly positioned ring-pulls, and that is exactly what I needed. The pivoting design works well to provide me with an excellent mechanical advantage, and I hope that I won't incur any further damage to the tips of my fingernails now.Eamonn

I can use it fine , however the 92year old it was intended for does try to use this in all manner of ways apart from the correct one, I have even found him reverting to using a knife again. A step by step pictorial user card would be appropriate for the intended market. It is strong and sturdy and worth the effort to use.

Another indispensable gadget for the kitchen. I can confirm that this pulls up the ring and then proceeds to peel back the lid as you apply minimal pressure to the lever. The only slight niggle is that it can be a bit awkward getting underneath some tight ringpulls.....though I suspect if the end but was too thin it might snap. Generally not a problem unless you are maybe partially sighted and have dexterity issues. But for most people not a problem. Wouldn't be without one of these now.

This s a great gadget, particularly for people with arthritis or weak fingers. It's easy to use, easy to clean and has no sharp edges. Apart from ring pull sardine type fish cans with the ring in the corner it seems to work well on all the cans I've tried and even with those "fiddly" ones it is a great help in getting them started.

This little gadget does exactly what it says it will do, nothing flash - a blue plastic gadget with a hook on one end that lifts up the ring pull and then carefully removes the whole lid - magic. The card it's fastened to show how to use it safely.No cut fingers no swearing just something that works first time. I need to have had it for awhile and used it a few times to see if the plastic it's made from is sturdy enough for regular use, but so far so good. I would recommend it for everyone not just oldies
