Lid Angel
Lid Angel is a lid opener which is meant to be used on cans that have a tab provided already.

The second use of Lid Angel is opening jars. You place the tool over the jar and it makes it much easier to turn and loosen.

Features
- Surrounds Lid
You place the Lid Angel over the can you are trying to open, with the tab exposed through the slot provided. The lid surrounds the top of the can. Then you pull the tab, also pulling up the Lid Angel at the same time. This prevents the lid and its sharp edges from touching and possibly cutting your hands. It prevents food from getting all over your hands, too.
- Helps to Open Jars
The Lid Angel is also supposed to be very effective at helping you open jars that are tough to get. You place the product over the lid and it makes it easier to turn. This could save you a lot of frustration in the kitchen if the product works like the manufacturer says it does.
- 3 Standard Sizes and Colors
There's a small size in yellow, medium-size in green and large size in blue. These represent the standard sizes available in cans and should cover any that you need to open.
- Dishwasher Safe
No matter how much food spatter gets on your Lid Angel, you can just throw it into the dishwasher every time and clean it off easily. The dishwasher won't do it any damage, no matter how many times you put it through the wash.
- Fit Inside Each Other
Lid Angel's 3 sizes fit neatly inside each other, so they take up little space. The last thing anyone needs in the kitchen is another bulky tool taking up room in a cupboard. This product is so compact that you can stick almost anywhere and not lose much space.
- 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee
The manufacturer of this product is offering a 90-day money-back guarantee. If you're dissatisfied with Lid Angel for any reason at all, you can return the product for a refund. You must send the item back within 90 days of the original purchase date. The company will not refund you the shipping and handling costs.
Pros
- Protects Hands
The biggest benefit of this product is that it protects your hands from being cut when opening a can which has a tab. This is the kind of thing that does happen once in a while and it can be very painful. In some cases, it can even cause a serious injury. Naturally, Lid Angel also protects the hands from getting soiled.
- Prevents Spatter
Often when you open a can with a tab, the food from the can will spray all over the place. This is unpleasant and may waste time as you run back up to the shower to cleanse yourself again and change clothes. Simply opening the can, you can get food all over your hands by touching the lid. This product prevents food from getting on the hands and spraying on clothing. You never even have to touch the lid to achieve this.
- Protects Clothing
When food from the can gets on your clothing, it can often ruin decent and possibly costly items. This small product will probably save you quite a lot of money in dry cleaning bills, and possibly in new clothes. It may save you from being late for work because you ruined your first outfit.
- Safe Disposal of Lid
One issue with a sharp lid is disposing of it safely and to a place where it won't harm people or animals. With the Lid Angel, you can not only remove the lid safely but carry it to the location where you're going to dispose of it. You don't even have to touch the lid at all while you're throwing it away.
- Inexpensive
This is a very inexpensively-priced item which the average person could purchase easily. In addition, the company currently has an offer where if you purchase one set of 3, you get the second set for only the cost of the postage.
Cons
- Ugly Colors
The color hues selected for the three sizes of the product are fairly ugly. True, this is a cheaply-priced item and is strictly for utilization purposes, however, the manufacturer still could have made a better attempt to make the product look more attractive and appealing.
- Few Cans Like This
Relatively speaking, there aren't all that many cans that use tabs out there. This is not exactly what you'd call a necessary tool. It's cheap, true, but it's not the kind of thing that most people would go looking for just because the problem may not occur very often.
- You Can Use Other Openers
You can use a safe can opener to open cans with tabs too. The manufacturer even provides you with one with your purchase! All you have to do is twist off the tab in a second and you now have a can without a tab. Besides, you can easily use an electric can opener to achieve the same purpose. Both of these options will protect you from getting cut or sprayed with food. Again, the product may not be as necessary as the manufacturer would like us to believe.
How it's Different from Competitors
There are products on the market designed to lift tabs, unrelated to opening the can. These are bottle-opener-style products. Naturally, there are many styles of can openers. There are numerous different devices whose sole purpose is to help the user open jars. These include a rubber pad grip jar lid, tongs, and a flat rubber pad.
There aren't any items which are specifically geared towards opening a can with a tab safely. Naturally, there are safe can openers and electric can openers which open all cans. All you have to do is twist off the tab so that it's out of the way.
Although this is a fairly unique item, it's not an overly necessary one. There are also better solutions to the problem.
