This does-it-all opener works like a dream
Its latest invention, the Dopener (short for 'does it all opener'), is an ergonomic three-in-one device that works differently from most traditional openers. A button first locks the gadget onto the lid. Rather than turning a knob to spin the cutting wheel, Dopener's stainess steel cutting wheel is driven by pushing the two handles together — great for those with achy or arthritic hands. It slices through the lid smoothly without leaving a sharp edge. You can toss the lid without touching it when you're done.

As a bonus, the Dopener also has a built-in jar as well as a ring-pull can opener that can avoid breaking a nail ($27.95).
