A kitchen appliance including a cap-gripper and a can-opener actuated by the same motor. The cap-gripper includes relatively movable jaws which are moved by a screw driven by the motor which is automatically stopped when the jaws come together. The can-opener is driven directly by the motor but a clutch is provided for interrupting the drive to the screw each time the can-opener is selectively actuated.
