I was very pleased with this one’s performance for the first few months I wanted a fancy can opener for a long time–one that wouldn’t rust and that would leave a safe edge. I was very pleased with this one’s performance for the first few months. The locking mechanism on the can opener (instead of the traditional squeeze shut to connect the blades to the can) is enabled by turning the knob which is also used to open the can: it first locks on to the can and then unscrews the can. It unlocks by turning the knob in the reverse direction. After a few months of use, the lock mechanism will no longer engage when turned, and the product is now nonfunctional.
Great Opener! but a couple of tips to note, Simple to use and it works as described.This device will open Cans, Jars, Twist off caps, Those pressed on Crown caps, Those Sardine type of can lids with the ring that peels off the lid.A couple of things to remember about opening a can, attaching the device and releasing it from the can,Once you begin turning the knob Clockwise the opener becomes locked onto the lid, the action feels very smooth and effortless so it will feel as if it is not doing anything (but it is!) and once you’ve cut a full circle around the can you will feel it suddenly “give” as if it’s slipping or it feels even more easy to turn, this happens because “you’re done” it has finished cutting a complete circle around the can.At this point, you must now Remember to “turn the knob Counter Clockwise to RELEASE the opener from the lid”.Once you are done cutting the lid,the little button controlled pinchers / pliers is handy just remember,…
From a leftie…… very satistied with can opener! When it came, I had no cans that needed opening that afternoon, but wanted to try it right away. I save the few metal coffee cans I get for DIY projects, and have some with a pull up tab, so there is about a half inch flange around the rim. I tried that as my first try, without even reading the directions, had success with opening, and now have a can without that edge that impedes pouring, whether it be paint or bird seed. I had a model when the side openers just came out, and I could get that to work about one of three times. This one is good.PS I am a leftie, and although you have to turn in a clockwise manner, it is easy to adapt.. as we lefties constantly adapt. Can openers and scissors are probably the worst, but they have leftie scissors… but I have yet to see a leftie can opener, but I approve this one.
