Default OT - can opener

Before I jump to the 15 dollar range for a manual can opener, what are
you folks using? How long has it been used?

I don't remember what it costs, but I've been using Swingaway manual can
openers for years. I haven't run into a can yet that challenged this tool.
I got mine at the supermarket, but I've also seen them at Bed Bath &
Beyond, Linens & Things, and sometimes hardware stores.

Swingaway manual can opener here, too. Has rubbery/vinyl type handle
coating. I've had the same one for about 20 years. Once in awhile I dunk it
in the dishpan and scrub the cutter wheels with an old toothbrush or just
plunk it in the dishwasher.......still works like a charm. I think I picked
mine up at Ace Hardware. See link for easy to identify visual aid...
