Suggest a very reliable and durable can opener? (vanity)

Posted on 03/27/2022 9:35:57 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Friend put away my can opener where I didn't expect it. Made me realize I need a backup. Must be hand operated not electric

I normally don't like Amazon, but they had a German made can opener and my wife is very happy with it.

Only because it took me a couple minutes to find a reasonably sized image of one.

I bought a manual can opener that doesn’t leave a sharp edge and love it. It cuts on the side and doesn’t cut if you touch it. It was about $8 about eight years ago, so probably more expensive now. It’s worth it.

I`ve been happy with the side openers that don`t leave any sharp edges. You can also use the lid again even if they say you shouldn`t.

Looks like swing away is a top choice

I suppose if somebody was desperate enough, they would use a large, solid boulder as their ‘Can Opener’.
Just give a good wind up pitch like your favorite Major League Pitcher, and throw it good & HARD!

Every Swiss army knife has a can opener. Get one and get a life beyond such silly posts. :)

Turn the can upside down & rub it on concrete.

Now can openers are hard to find.
Thanks Biden.

I have the Swing Away. Works great! Have to use it at the edge of a counter or table when opening a short can like tuna or cat food.
