Draft Top Can Opener Now On Kickstarter

The Draft Can Opener removes the entire top from an aluminum beverage can, in a similar manner to a can opener for canned goods. Except, the edge is left smooth so you won’t cut yourself.

Why bother? How about a smooth let and faster pour or drink? How about feeling like you’re drinking from a cup?

It has a swing out arm to accommodate a variety of can diameters. The Draft Top can be used on most 8-19 oz beverage cans.

    No Metal Shavings???

    At least you have a Spit Cup everyone can see into.

      I’d also be concerned with metal shavings getting into the can and then ingesting them.

    Pretty cool

    I can see this being useful for ultralight DIYers who use cans for stoves and pots.

    All those cool craft beer cans can now be used a few more times as cups. Be kinda cool if you could do glass bottles as well somehow.

    • Mike Nomad says:

      “recycling” glass bottles was a thing back in the 70s. A kit was sold ( a heavy-duty plastic jig w/ cutter) that would let you cut bottles & jars & refinish the cut/lip.

    As I see this, I’m thinking beer can chicken… this could be handy.

    I still use my first one, but I’m backing this anyways.

  7. Joe says:

    You can open it without a tool?

    That’s for animals; someone should make a tool for it, for people to open it with.

    Still neat though.

    I dig it. At that price point I could even be persuaded to buy one.

    I find aluminum bottles to be one of my favorite drinking experiences, and this would make cans more similar to that, just without the resealable feature.

    Will this work on my cans of Canmunition?
