Ring pull tins are designed for a strong index finger, which rules them out for a lot of people. The Canpull hooks under the ring and gives the client a handle to pull with, so the lid comes up using the arm and shoulder, not one fingertip.
It suits clients with arthritic or painful hands, reduced grip strength or skin that tears easily, and it removes the sharp edge of the lid from the equation because the hand is never near it. Small, light and cheap enough to keep more than one in the kitchen drawer.
It is a good one to hand over at the same time as other kitchen aids, since a client who struggles with ring pulls usually struggles with jars too.
