Handheld can openers use a cutting wheel to pierce, cut, and remove lids from cans. They are typically designed for right-hand use.

Can tappers use their pointed end to punch a hole in the lid of a can to drain out the liquid. The other end has a bottle opener to lift off bottle caps commonly found on soft drink and beer bottles.

Manual can openers attach onto the edge of a counter for added leverage and stability.

Pail openers cut, lift, and remove lids on pails and buckets without damaging containers.

These items replace worn or damaged components in manual can openers. Parts must be matched to an opener with a compatible brand and manufacturer model number.
