OT - can opener
Something's buggin me. Rather insignificant at first. Now, its becoming a
problem. Its the manual can opener. I regularly open two small cans of dog food a day, people food less often regurlarly. Use a manual can opener as I have small acreage on the countertop. In the past 2 years I've tried one electric initially that couldn't hold most cans including the dog food can in place to cut the top. So, I figured manual would be best. Some last a couple of months, some don't work right at the get-go. There are 2 common failures. The cutting wheel bends at the axis point, AND/OR, the geared friction wheel fails to turn the can. Less common during those failures is the handle cover falls off. Also, the closing of the handles goes beyond its intended closure to maintain hold of the can; twisting and bending the closing axis point of the handle fulcrum point. The only problem with the standard all-metal type is that it won't do all can sizes, at least that's what I've found. Before I jump to the 15 dollar range for a manual can opener, what are you folks using? How long has it been used? -- Dave |
