ABSTRACT:
A container opening device and method are provided to facilitate the opening of containers of the type having integral pull tabs. The device includes a body, a tip located at one end of the body, and a handle located at the opposite end of the body. A slot is formed in the body and is positioned between the handle and the tip. The device is first used as a lever to rotate the pull tab to an activated position. The pull tab is then inserted within the slot formed in the body, and the handle of the device is rotated while securing the pull tab in the slot causing the lid to roll around the body thus separating the lid from the container.
