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.

Great for my in laws, they have trouble opening cans with their limited hand use.
Got one of these for myself and one for my dad. Love them! I have arthritis in my hands, and this thing is a game changer. I used to avoid buying cans that I couldn't open with my battery can opener, but now I don't have to do that.
My dad has limited functionality in his hands and struggles with fine motor skills due to arthritis. I am hoping this will be a great tool for him. Thank you so much!
I have this to my husband from the cats for Christmas and he was excited to try it out. He coffee and food prep area is next to the fridge, so he can hang it on the side of the fridge for easy access.
The Tab Buddy XL works great and makes opening cans much easier. It was a bit harder to use on smaller cans like soup or vegetables, but that may have been user error. Overall, it’s sturdy, useful, and works well once you get the hang of it.
