Manuel Can Opener

Yeah those top openers never last long. I also got the side cut now but it is a bit harder to turn

I dunno. I am using an Oxo 'side cut' one now - just looked at my history on Amazon and it is going on 5y old. I think it gets a lot of use.

I guess maybe some don't last - I was shocked to find I'd ordered 5 can openers on Amazon - 2014, 2015, two at the same time in Dec 2016 - then this one in April 2020 and it is still going strong - the others all apparently died.

Of course - I've now jinxed myself and I have little doubt this Oxo is going to actually explode next time I open a can of dog food and I'll probably lose a couple of fingers and maybe an eye with it, in the bargain.

Pioneer Woman brand.
Works great and my wife loves the way it looks.

OXO normal cut, everything OXO has worked very well so far, they use to put 1 large P38 per case back in the 70's-80's, it was the lucky guy that got 1, I had 1 on my dog tags for a long time, not sure who took t off but suspect mamaw did so grand kids could play with it.

Don't know if true or not but they say the side cut ( would prefer ) are harder on the cutting blades because of the thickness of the cans compared to top ???

Sounds like you were having about the same luck I was having with openers.

 

[Winterrider]

Yep same one as I posted. We have 1 of them for each residence.
Forgot about the made in the USA and cheaper than the made in ? junk.

Didn't see one you posted ? Do like the USA

Yeah, this is the opener we have, but ours is right-handed. We have had it a long time and it still turns easy. So easy in fact that you have to pay attention or you will do a lap and a half around the can. I'm pretty sure it is going to out last Pam and I.

 

[realdocBBQ]

Yes mine is right-handed as well - not sure why it looks left-handed in that pic.

Thanks Richie. Ordered one. Who would of thought opening cans was a deal but when you have bad hands.

I got to thinking about the one I have . It has to be 25 to 30 years old . Still works fine .

Sorry John. I try my best to keep names straight around here but sometimes its hard. I just ordered a swing away off amazon. Thanks.

Could be true, but we have had our side cut for about 3 years and zero negative issues. Although a lot of cans now have the pop top that are smaller. Not sure if you are opening large cans.?

I have had OXO normal cut for many years. A year or so ago it broke and I ordered another on Amazon. It's a piece of junk, loses grip on cans often. The older ones I loved because of the exact opposite. Mayce I just got a defective one but I now hate it.

Oh boy, that would be my luck to get another clunker
Oh well, didn't have to sell the ranch.
