Swing-A-Way Can Opener

Top Pro

Great for those who prefer using traditional can openers

Top Con

Handwashing is recommended when cleaning it

You can't clean this using the dishwasher. Use warm water and a mild detergent when washing it. Then rinse and dry it as soon as possible. See More

Comfortable for all hand sizes

Ergonomic handles gives this can opener a good fit when gripping it, regardless of hand size. Its metal handles have soft cushion grips that won't hurt your hands or make them feel sore after using it. See More

Top Con

Will get rusty as it ages

Although this can opener has a high-quality steel frame and will open your cans for years, it will still rust. See More

Top Pro

Easy to use

Place the can on top of a flat surface, spread the handles, fit the opener against the can, and puncture the lid. You then rotate the bar outside of the handle to roll the serrated wheel. Its high-carbon, gear-driven cutting wheel won't skip and will complete the process. It operates smoothly and is simple to use. See More

Top Con

You won't be able to drain using the lid

If you often use the can's lid to drain the liquid contents, you won't be able to do that using this can opener.You'll need a top cutting can opener for that. See More

Specs

Item Weight :2.4 ounces

Product Dimensions :9 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches

Top Pro

Great to take with you to any outdoor occasion

Since it only measures 9 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches and weighs 2.4 ounces, it's small enough to put in your picnic basket or backpack. Take it and be able to open a can anywhere you go. See More

Top Pro

Great for kids, seniors, and those who don't want sharp edges

Instead of cutting into the can, it only separates the lid by lifting the entire top off. In doing so, it doesn't create any sharp edges and is safe for anyone to use. See More

Zyliss Lock N' Lift Can Opener

Top Pro

Lids are easy to lift

This can opener has a magnet at the tip, so you can use it to hold or lift the lid up after you open the can. You won't have to use your fingers and risk getting cut. Even when you lift the handles apart, the magnet will keep holding the lid. It will only let go once you push the red lever to release it. See More

Top Con

Not so durable

Since this can opener has plastic components, it's not going to stay unscathed when you drop it. See More

Specs

Item Weight :5.6 ounces

Product Dimensions:3.5 x 2 x 7.5 inhes

Great for the elderly and those with weak hands or arthritis

With a soft touch grip and handle, it doesn't take too much effort or energy to grip the handles and use the can opener. And you can also fit the opener onto the can then lock it so it won't slip off even if you let it go. See More
