Product Description

Kuhn Rikon named it Ergo for its irresistibly rounded shape tailored to fit the hand and its big rubber turning knob. Then they dressed it in hip, fun color. Underneath the fashion statement, the cutting wheel cuts from the side leaving the rim smooth, not sharp or jagged. The tiny jaws of the exclusive Lid Gripper clamp onto the lid rim and lifts off the top. Hold over trash container, open jaws and dispose of the lid without touching it with your hands. 5.75-inch Blue

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!, September 20, 2009

After a minute of getting acquainted with it, you'll love the Ergo. It works quickly and the little pliers feature removes lids much more easily than your fingers. The size & shape fit nicely in the untensil drawer, and whichever color you get makes for immediate location other. Buy it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hit and Miss, October 29, 2009

I find this to be a hit or miss product. When it works, it works great, when it doesn't work as designed its very frustrating. I will say the opener does work 80-90% of the time. What tends to happen is the gripper wheel for lack of the better term, will slip and cause the cut wheel to not line up. once this happends you either have to recut the line (causing shards of alumnium) or it will not cut at all. When it worked it was great for reusing the can to store left overs.

I have a thumb injury and this opener makes the job of opening cans very easy. It's comfortable to hold on to and the empty can and lid are both left with no sharp edges. It took a bit to get used to as it clamps on differently than most openers. I ordered four more openers to give as gifts.
