I’ve found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I’ve been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn’t puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast–not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I’m looking for a manual handheld can opener. I’ve always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I’m in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?

    The EZ-DUZ-IT deluxe can opener is simply the best one I’ve ever had! It’s really durable, doesn’t rust, has a comfortable grip, and it’s made in the USA. It’s top-notch!

      I feel like it’s solid. Something you would find in a cafeteria where it gets used every day. It’s got a short reach and isn’t super heavy, but if I had to use it for self defence it wouldn’t come out any worse for wear.
