Lakeland Helping Hands Can Opener

If you or a loved one faces dexterity challenges or finds it difficult to complete everyday kitchen tasks, the Lakeland Helping Hands Can Opener will help you wave goodbye to the struggles of opening cans for good. Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, this easy-to-use kitchen gadget makes light work of opening cans – the way it should be.

Comfort at your fingertips

The comfortable handle ensures a steady grip, making it easier to hold, while the effortless gear mechanism makes it a breeze to wind. With a smooth-winding crank handle – a bit like a fishing rod – it requires around a third of the effort to open a can compared to traditional can openers.

Folds for easy storage

We understand that storage space is precious, so we’ve made sure our Helping Hands Can Opener doesn’t take up too much room. Once you’ve opened your can, simply fold the handle away and tuck the can opener away until the next time you come to use it. Compact and convenient, it’s ready to lend a helping hand whenever you need it.

Inspired by you

When we began developing our Helping Hands Can Opener, our first port of call was to consult our kitchenware experts: You. Our customers. You’ve been on the journey with us from the very beginning, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that you lot know a thing or two about what makes a fantastic product!

With millions of people in the UK suffering from arthritis and other dexterity issues, we felt it was time to help make their life easier in the kitchen, if only to offer a helping hand with small tasks like opening cans. We worked with people who suffer from dexterity challenges to hear their thoughts on how we could manufacture the ultimate can opener. Their main challenge came with the twisting motion that comes with using a regular can opener. And with that in mind, we got the (real) experts involved…

Designed by experts

Now, although our customers are experts when it comes to using our products, we felt it was wise to consult some bona fide professionals when it came to the design work. So using the information we had gathered from our customers, we put the pros to work designing, sketching, and building prototypes to make sure we created a product we knew we could trust.

After months of hard work, our Buying team and design experts were finally ready to get the Helping Hands Can Opener into our range and onto our shelves (but only once they were sure it was perfect).

Quality guaranteed

And if you’re still not quite convinced that a can opener can be as good as this one sounds, it’s backed by our 3-year guarantee (just like the rest of our thousands of products), so you’ve got nothing to lose by trying it out for yourself.
