5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, multipurpose, Good quality and a little tricky ;-) December 4, 2011

When I received this, it was bigger than I expected, but it has a good clean finish, and doesn't look cheap.

Right away I tried it on a can , and kept turning and turning, and nothing was happening. I had read some reviews before and some users have complained that it is too complicated or doesn't work, and I was getting worried that it is really a difficult tool to use.

I rarely read the instructions, but this time read the few lines, and followed them. The can still didn't open. I tried it on the other side of the can. After one full turn, I did feel a subtle change in resistance, and stopped. I used the clipper/gripper, and pulled with a little force the the lid came off very nicely and cleanly. I went back to the other side of the can, and pulled on it, and that came off perfectly as well. Since then, I have not had any issues, as I know how it feels.The problem I had, was really not from this tool, but the many years that I was conditioned with other can openers. With this one, once it goes around the rim 1 full turn, it is done. It was too smooth and too easy, so I thought it was not cutting at all, while it already cut the rim on the first turn. All it took was a pull with the clippers.

So you really have to reset how you use a can opener when trying this, and you don't need to fight it. It works very well, and since then I have many cans that I have cut on both sides, and use them (or hope to use them) as molds [for stacking food]. {My wife is not very happy with me collecting empty cans}

Amazing product!!! Just be gentle with it and it will do the job. Only pull with some force using the clippers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Opener January 16, 2007

By Big Ed

Color Name:Red

This is a great can opener. This cuts the middle of the lid roll and leaves no sharp edges to cut plastic trash bags or hands or tongues if you like to lick the can lids. Easy and fun to use. I've seen some reviewers indicate they have problems making this opener work. But everyone from my 10 year old grandson to my non-mechanically inclined wife can open cans with ease. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Can Opener December 13, 2010

The Swiss Army co. does it again. Terrific can opener, I choose a manual can opener over an automatic version, always. This device doesn't require a person to have super human strength to use or a 30 page manual, all I can say is take a few minutes to understand how it works.
