Ouvre-boîte For Living

I rarely write reviews but i am so frustrated with this can opener that i have actually gone out of my way do say how bad this is. Approximately 75% of the time when using this, it will not grip the can. It will puncture the can as it locks shut and then half to a full turn of the handle later it pops off the can (this seems to happen most frequently with something packed in a thin liquid that then spills everywhere). Because it locks shut, you then have to mess around with the little tab (while covered in whatever smelly or sticky juice spilled all over you) in order to open it up and try to latch it over the can again; only to repeat this process several times before the can is fully opened. Throughout this process, you are darn lucky if while closing and latching the can opener, you don't catch some skin in it (which by the way is not only unpleasant, but sometimes you even have to struggle to unlatch it just to get your pinched skin out of it). The design is terrible, the function is mostly useless - my only success with it has been to force it into an unnatural position in order to grip the can successfully, something I have never experienced with another opener. Way over priced for the piece of garbage that it is, but at least its a pretty green color. Unfortunately I purchased this as a replacement for a series that CT no longer carries - sadly it after about 10 years the handle cracked.

The screw holding the cutting blade fell out when I was opening my second can. Thank goodness I noticed it before it landed in the food! I tried to put it back in, thinking it just wasn't tighten properly. However, as soon as I cranked the turn handle, it worked its way out again. I had to return it. How hard is it to purchase a can opener that works?

Ouvre-boîte très facile et simple. Fonctionne à merveille !

This is a great opener easy to grip and easy to open

Good, sturdy can opener that also happens to be in a cute green colour.
