The Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lidlifter

Clamps automatically: Kuhn Rikon's Auto Safety Lidlifter operates on the same principle as their famous Deluxe Lidlifter, but has a one-piece polymer handle design and an ingenious mechanism that automatically clamps the cutting head to the can's edge.

Kuhn Rikon's Auto Safety Lidlifter uses a revolutionary approach to lid removal. Ordinary can openers cut down through the lid inside the rim, but the Auto Lidlifter actually cuts through the outside of the lid rim itself. So instead of getting gummy and disgusting like every other opener, the Swiss-made Kuhn Rikon remains totally clean because it never touches the food. This approach also means there's no sharp edge when you're finished. Integrated gripper jaws grab the lid after it's been cut free, and it goes into the trash without your ever touching it. The Auto Safety Lidlifter is easy-turning, too. 7.5" length.
