A thin, metal device, comprising of a lever (10) facilitating the opening of flip-top cans. The lever has a bend (18) sloping downwardly from the rear and converging with a bend (20) that slopes upwardly and leads to a bend forming a scoop (22). The bend forming a scoop comprises on both sides a chamfered edge 26, a dip 24, and a tapered corner (28). A head (30) extends upwardly so that the lever will slide under the can tab, enter the arcuate slot and join at the base of the tab. The base of the tab serves as a fulcrum for pivoting upwardly thus rotates the tab. After opening the can, a tab-retracting arm (32) centered on top lowers the tab. A key ring (34) interlocks through a hole (12), conveniently. For extra control, the pop tab opener can be adapted with a thumb-size ring attachment (36).
