My brother-in-law has that one as well. While dog sitting for him, I marveled at its ease of use, but by the end of the week it quit working reliably and after a few more days my wife couldn’t get it to work at all and I only had random success. Not sure what we did to it, but we had to start bringing ours over…

Meh. I have one of these Oxo openers and its just ok. Their solution is just to throw more plastic at it. If you want a real can opener forget that side cutting crap. There is only one can opener:

I’m another happy Kuhn Rikon customer. Got it when the kids were little because of how safe it is, but honestly I’m the one who has benefited the most: haven’t cut myself on a can since.

a small file works. I’m on my third or fourth re-sharpening with the cheapie can-opener I got at the supermarket. the cheapie file set I got from my local big-box hardware store came with like ten of these small-sized files along with all the normal-sized ones. work like a charm.
I-is… Is unicorn meat Teriyaki? That looks like Teriyaki. Which would be the only way that unicorn meat should ever be prepared. It’s too rare and delicious for plain old steak.
I actually have one of these in the kitchen. It came with the house, and will open anything from those dinky chili pepper cans, to a 55 Gallon oil drum if you slam down on it hard enough.

I have the OXO one and it’s pretty great, I think it may be BB’s fault I bought it.
I read the beginning of the first sentence as “flywheel with a can opener…” Now there’s a patentable idea.
Wow that redirected me to a ton of spammy ads. (I can’t install NoScript on the work computer, because security.)
I have gone on to my 2nd Swing-a-way. Something went wrong with the first.
But it did last for apx 20 years.

"Some day all beer cans will open this easy!"
Then we won’t have to drink Schlitz!
Then the little woman won’t chip those nails fetching me a beer!
Then we will have little pierce-here marks so we can make the holes 180 degrees apart, not 45!
Then we won’t worry about that adjective/adverb thing ever again! Think different!
So much packed into one ad.

They were 100% right: one day, beer cans were much easier to open!
Nah, sorry. This ain’t the best.
This is.
