Open Canned Food Tabs Without the Strain
Say goodbye to sore fingers, broken nails, and joint pain. The Tab Buddy XL is a simple but powerful tool designed to make opening canned food tabs effortless — perfect for fruit, soups, veggies, pet food, and more. It even works on drink cans.
Why You’ll Love It
- Assistive help where it’s needed most: Supports people with arthritis, hand weakness, tremors, or disabilities by giving leverage and control.
- Protects nails and fingertips: No more broken or chipped nails from prying tabs.
- Smooth, safe opening: Wraps fully around the can tab for a secure grip, then uses a built-in hook to peel lids back with ease.
- Always within reach: A hidden magnet keeps it on your fridge. Plus, a built-in keyring hole makes it portable with optional keychains or wrist straps.
- Cute + functional: Available in colorful designs that bring personality to your kitchen.
Details and Care
- Size: 3 1/4 in long × 1 1/4 in wide × 1/4 in thick
- Material: Eco-friendly, biodegradable plastic
- Care: Hand wash only with warm soapy water, air dry fully, store indoors to prevent fading

Who It’s For
- People with arthritis or conditions that impact hand mobility such as carpal tunnel, EDS, Reynaud’s, lupus, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, MD, CF, MS, Parkinson’s, and many others
- Anyone with long nails who wants to avoid chips and breaks
- Older individuals with reduced hand strength or dexterity who want to restore independence in everyday tasks
- Food service workers, volunteers, and pet owners who open lots of cans daily

This company is so nice and really just created a game changer for so many different people. This is third time ordering from them and I plan on ordering more in the future as well. I love this company!
Loved mine and decided to get one for my mom, since she’s had surgery on both hands. They even made the freebie match!
These are great! Very easy to use and very helpful in getting cans opened
Very helpful with opening soda cans and sardine cans, now my wrists and finger tips don’t get sore, thanks!
My grandma loves this tool! She keeps around with her any time she is opening soda tabs or can lids. The little magnet in it has saved her countless times already from picking up the sharp lids.
