This is the one for pull top cans
I've never written a product review before, but I thought that I might be able to help someone out with this info.tl;dr - Buy this if you need to drain Costco pull tab tuna cans (Chicken of the Sea - NET WT. 7 oz)When I first saw the giant multi pack of tuna at Costco, my first thought was, "What a great price! And easy-to-open lids, too. Perfect!" Back at home, I was halfway through opening the first can when I realized the problem. Regular old tuna cans that are opened with a can opener leave you with a nice flat and rigid lid, which you then can easily press down into the tuna, invert over the sink, and squeeze the water out. Simple, right?After tearing into the "EZ-open" Chicken of the Sea tuna can, I was left holding what can only be described as a flimsy metal taco with my finger through the pull ring in the lid. I think I stared at the can for a few seconds, trying to figure out just how I was going to get the water out. I attempted to flatten out the metal taco and use it as I always had - pressing it into the tuna and draining over the sink. You can imagine how well that went.While lamenting how I had just dumped half of a can of tuna into the sink drain in an extremely messy fashion, I figured that surely a specialized product existed to help with the task. As it turns out, there are several products that are specifically designed to separate foolish people from their money. Previously, I would have scoffed at these products, as I assume they would be marketed toward those people who don't know you can just use the lid of the tuna can to drain it.Well, now it's a real problem, because the EZ-open lids are in no shape to drain the contents of a tuna can after they have been violently deformed during the "EZ to open" process. It is only after beginning to research the vast ocean of tuna can draining systems do you really discover how meaningless your life has become. Your coffers of knowledge swell when you learn that tuna can sizes are varied across the globe. Your understanding of the Space-Time continuum is heightened as you learn that old-fashioned(regular) tuna cans feature a yawning gap of approximately 3 1/8" inches once opened, while a pull-top tuna can from Costco only yields a paltry inner diameter of around 2 7/8" once its lid is "EZily" removed. Total command of your sentience is achieved when you discover that virtually all products which are designed to assist the (no longer foolhardy) user remove all traces of liquid from their fishy feast are designed to be used with the old-fashioned(regular) cans.*This means most of the tuna can press strainers you'll be seeing on Amazon are too large to fit into the pull-top cans.*But not this product. I received a 2-pack (with two different sizes). I have no clue what size can the smaller strainers would fit, but that is not why I purchased this. I was only interested in the larger size. It fits the Costco Chicken of the Sea pull-top cans PERFECTLY. The press strainers are made from a heavy duty plastic and do not feel cheap. They appear to be well designed - even including a built-in "hook" to grab the finger pull loop to make opening a pull-top can even "EZier".Big thumbs up for this product. If you're looking for a tuna press strainer for pull-top cans, this is it.

Great idea, but way too small
Great idea but it’s too small. Doesn’t fit the cans of Tuna. Actually I’m haven’t yet found anything else that size to use it for. Extremely disappointed. Will have to shop around for something similar that will work with the tuna cans (especially for the larger ones).

Perfect size for the new Costco tuna cans with the flip cover
Perfect size for the new Costco tuna cans with the flip cover. My other tuna drainer worked perfectly for a can that needed to be opened with a can opener. With the new flip lids, the drainer doesn't fit! The larger drainer is perfect!!! No quite sure what to do with the smaller drainer, but at least I have the larger one that fits. Draining made easier now!

Too small for US cans of tuna
I did not use because they are too small for US size cans of tuna. they "looked" like perfectly good quality - but very small.

Perfect size
This was the perfect size for squeezing the liquid out of the pull top cans, now that costco no longer sells any non-pull top. Easy to use, and easy to rinse and clean.

Tuna helper's
I love how convenient the czar. Bye in the bag to and I can sometimes get expensive. The canned tuna is always inexpensive. Our use these to make sure the tuna is free of any of the water or oil's that it is packed in. I love them where have you been all my life? LOL

Only fit small size tuna can.
Actually wanted size that will fit the largest chicken or tuna cans. None of these are that large.
