can-opener

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kitchen tool' is the definition.
'can opener' can be an answer for 'tool' (can opener is a kind of tool). I am not sure about the 'kitchen' bit.

'one pecan crushed with head of round' is the wordplay.
'crushed with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'round' is 'r'.
'one'+'pecan'='onepecan'
'onepecan' anagrammed with 'r' can make 'CAN-OPENER'.
