Draft Top Lift topless can opener - Red, White & Blue compact aluminum lid remover, smooth-edge, spring-loaded handles

Draft Top Lift is a compact topless can opener that cleanly removes aluminum can lids to create a smooth, drinkable opening for beer, cocktails, soda, and more.

Designed by Draft Top and featured on Shark Tank, the Lift tool removes can tops without pushing the lid into the drink or leaving jagged edges. Its spring-loaded, gripped handles work for left- and right-handed users and fit a wide range of can sizes, from mini to tall. Lightweight and portable, the Lift is built for home bars, tailgates, camping, and bartenders who want a safer, fuller drinking experience from canned beverages.

How does Draft Top Lift remove can lids safely?

The Lift clamps onto the can rim and detaches the lid cleanly, keeping the metal ring intact and preventing sharp slivers. The mechanism lifts the entire top away instead of puncturing or folding it inward, leaving a smooth edge suitable for sipping or garnishing.

• Spring-loaded jaws grip the can securely for a controlled pull.
• Removes the entire aluminum lid rather than pushing it inside the can.
• Leaves a rounded, smooth opening with minimal metal burrs.
• Reduces risk of cuts compared with tearing with fingers.

Which cans and beverages work with the Lift?

Draft Top Lift is made to fit most commonly sold beverage cans, including domestic, import, and craft sizes. It accommodates 7.5 to 25 ounce cans — from mini stubbies to tallboys, and includes canned cocktails, wines, energy drinks, iced coffee, soda, and beer.

• Compatible with standard 12 oz and tall 16–25 oz cans.
• Works on aluminum beverage tops used by breweries and beverage makers.
• Not intended for steel food cans or non-aluminum lids.
• Consistent action across brands and can shapes thanks to the adjustable grip.

How easy is it to use Draft Top Lift at home, events, or bars?

The Lift’s updated design includes textured handles and a spring assist so users can open cans quickly without sticky fingers. Its compact form slips into pockets or bar toolkits, making it practical for bartenders, hosts, and outdoor gatherings.

• One-handed or two-handed operation depending on preference.
• Textured, non-slip handles stay comfortable during repeated use.
• Fast opening action speeds service at parties or busy bars.
• Small footprint fits travel kits, glove boxes, and bar drawers.

Does the Lift cleanly prepare cans for garnishes and sipping?

Yes — removing the full lid exposes the beverage surface for aroma, ice, and garnishes while offering a safer lip than a torn tab. This makes it easier to add citrus wedges, herbs, or reusable straws without metal interference.

• Provides a full, unobstructed opening for garnishes and aroma release.
• Smoother lip than jagged tabs, better for sipping directly from the can.
• Preferred by mixologists for canned cocktails and craft beer tastings.
• Helps avoid can tab debris falling into the drink.

Who is this for? The Draft Top Lift is ideal for home bartenders, event hosts, tailgate and camping enthusiasts, servers and bartenders, and anyone who prefers a cleaner, more versatile way to enjoy canned beverages. If you frequently drink canned cocktails, craft brews, or sodas and want a portable tool that reduces mess and improves drink presentation, the Lift is a practical addition to your kit.
