Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the only can opener you should buy. It does what many others cannot safely open cans. Beans, peas, and tomato sauce is once-again accessible.
Cons
This can opener is shaky already, very loose at the joint where it should be tight. Opening a can with this is a frustrating ordeal.
Please, don't be deceived by swing-a-way's historical reputation for quality. This item is garbage. Not even worthy to be donated" "don't buy this item. Listen to other posters reviews," says seller.
Highlights
Quality
Good product, well made, i purchased 2.
Full one piece metal handles super sharp really well built
No resistance at all as your turning the big crank.
From the can opener failing to work from piercing metal shavings in my food, i threw out the bad can openers because i did not want to die.
Price
For the extra few dollars i was pleasantly surprised at what i got.
Competitiveness
We had one like this years ago and switched to another brand.
I have had many can openers of various brands.
