    I've been using one of these for 30 years. Have one in my go bag. It's the only can opener my daughter's ever saw in the house. Takes a very long time to wear one out!

    I like it a lot

    I ordered both sizes & they work very good. I got tired of buying can openers at Walmart that kept breaking after a year. After seeing reviews of it on YouTube that these type of can openers will last a really long time, I know I had to get a few. Definitely recommending this to others.
