How A Shark Tank Can Opener Clears $61.3K/Month In Profit

On Shark Tank in 2021 the Sharks struggled to open a can with it. They re-engineered it into the Lift, which sold 3,900 on Amazon in September — advertised almost only on its own name.

Read Sep 2026. Figures here are a reading taken then, not a live feed.

Draft Top is estimated to make $104,361 per month in revenue, on roughly $61,256 of monthly profit — a margin of about 59%. Testing a copy today would cost an estimated $9,776 for the first order and launch ads, plus fixed costs for a new brand. It operates in Amazon FBA, Kitchen gadgets, Barware, Private Label, Amazon PPC, Crowdfunding, Wholesale, Shopify, Consumers.

Draft Top, a New Jersey company, makes a hand tool that takes the whole lid off a drink can and leaves a smooth rim, so the can drinks like a cup. It sells on Amazon, from its own store and through retail distributors.

The lid comes off, the can becomes a cup

The Lift is a plastic body with a stainless blade inside. Set on a can and squeezed round, it cuts away the whole top, leaving a rim smooth enough to drink from, and fits cans from 7.5 to 25 ounces. They sell it for beer, cocktails and garnishes, and it comes in a dozen colours and prints on Amazon, from black and red, white and blue to camouflage and a Viva México edition.

It is the second design. The first, the Draft Top 3.0, went on Shark Tank in February 2021, where most of the Sharks could not get it to work. The Lift followed in October 2022, described by the company as completely re-engineered, and every dollar measured since mid-2024 is the Lift. Beside it the storefront carries two packs of can clips, which hold a miniature bottle upside down in an open can; neither carries a sold badge now.

The Lift, the cans it opens and what they are opened for, as the brand’s own Amazon listing shows them.
