Release the Kraken Tab Buddy XL

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.
