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
- Storage: Internal magnet; keep away from children and electronics
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

Got this for my mom, can’t wait to give it to her
I got this for my mom because her arthritis is starting to affect her hands badly. It's perfect. Thank you so much for making these and also for the large array of different styles and colors!!
Makes opening cans so much easier!
Bought this for my MIL mothers day. She has extreme arthritis that makes it extremely difficult to independently do tasks. This has helped her be a bit more independent!
10/10, would recommend, great mothers day gift
Bought this for my mother and grandmother for mothers day. My grandmother suffers from arthritis and now has issues with grip. It helps her stay independent and eliminates one barrier between doing things and the disadvantage of arthritis.
My mother gets her nails done quite a bit drinks lots of canned drinks. This helps as either her nails are too long or she wants to maintain her manicure without chipping or breaking a nail.
10/10, would recommend and honestly recommend as a easy and guaranteed to please if you are struggling to buy a gift for someone.
