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

Who It’s For

I love this product! I often have trouble opening the pull tab and have snapped many nails trying to pry the tab up. The tab buddy will be used often and happily! Thanks for great idea and product. I bought one for my daughter too!!
I bought 2 of the XL Tab Buddies. Originally I wanted one to help my aged Mom, but decided get one for myself. This little gadget is such a help to my Mom - she has arthritis and difficulty with her hands. This made opening cans and drinks smooth and easy for her again. Love this for her AND for me - Thank You!!!
I run a cat rescue and we open a zillion cans and these are a life saver for our fingers. I purchased several and plan to get more soon. I would love for each of our foster homes to have one.
Easy to use, love that it is magnetic!
I boughtbthis for myself. Comed in handy especially after having your nails done. I keep it on the fridge for using. I boughtva moon and stars one for daughter. I also bought a LUBRA picket tab for my purse. These are really very handy. These make great gifts and will remember that for stocking stuffers!!
Great product. Especially the magnet so it doesn't get thrown in drawer lost and forgotten.
