For Hands That Need More Help Opening Cans

When weak grip, stiff joints, or tremors make can tabs hard to lift, the Tab Buddy Adapt™ gives you more to work with. It's our longest, most supportive Tab Buddy, with extra length for leverage and a built-in grip assist hole for control. Use it on soups, fruit, veggies, pet food, soda, and more.

Why You'll Love It

  • More leverage: At 5 1/8 inches long, the Adapt is more than 1 1/2 times the length of our Tab Buddy XL, so a gentle lift does more of the work.
  • A secure place to hold: The 1-inch diameter grip assist hole at the back fits a finger, thumb or digit, giving you steady control without a tight pinch grip.
  • Rolls lids back smoothly: A front hook with a rounded nose lets you roll the lid back instead of tugging it.
  • Same easy steps, no grip change: Slide, lift and peel. Both functions are on the same side of the Adapt, so you lift the tab and peel back the lid without shifting your hold.
  • Always within reach: A hidden magnet keeps it on your fridge. A built-in keychain hole works with our wrist straps, and larger keychains like our Large Clasp attach directly to the grip assist hole.
  • Pick your color: Currently available in Black, Purple, Sky Blue, and Bright Pink.

Which Tab Buddy Is Right for Me?

  • Tab Buddy Mini, Classic, and Soda Tab Buddy designs: Cute, portable openers made just for soda cans.
  • Tab Buddy XL: Our compact everyday helper for food and drink cans.
  • Tab Buddy Adapt: Our longest Tab Buddy, with a 1-inch grip assist hole, for anyone who needs the most leverage and control for opening both food and drink cans.
