ABSTRACT:
A hand-held tool for opening tab open cans. The tool includes an elongated body having an opening with converging surfaces which can be slipped over the tab. A narrow edge at the lower margin of the opening assists initially in lifting the tab away from the can end. As the tool is pivoted upwardly, a chisel-shaped nose portion on the front end of the tool assists in pressing the weakened portion of the can end inwardly. The relationship between the tool nose portion and the thin edge prevents interference between the nose portion and the can end when the tool is initially slipped onto the tab.
