Faberware makes a good can opener. I’ve gone through a lot of can openers but this one has held up better than the other brands that I’ve used. My wife bought it. I liked it well enough to take it in the divorce.
Zyliss, I have an older model, but this one works the same way. The other ones some folks have mentioned work on the same principal, they cut through the seam.
My wife likes the old Swing A Way better, but she's always worried about the sharp edges. Like........Duh

The problem with can openers today is that just like anything else, they're made in chiner. Anything made in chiner is of significantly lower quality than those items manufactured in the US, Germany, Switzerland, etc.
You may say, but I don't want to spend X amount on a can opener and opt instead for for a cheap chiner one. Well, that's fine, just expect it to break within a week, if not immediately.
This summer I bought a cheap can opener for the RV, just to use a few times a year. It broke on the first can.
I can risk the sharp can lids for one that actually functions.
Thanks for the help guys...still not sure what to do. The Chinese swing away is garbage like all Chinese crap...the pampered chef one looks plasticy and fragile. US swing aways on eBay may be worn out...That big boobed brunette looks about perfect but with COVID lockdowns and all and all I doubt I can afford it.

Just get the Zyliss. They work great, are made in Switzerland and mine has lasted over 10 years.

I did not know that this is a problem. I will soon be decanting the Bush's Homestyle Beans to accompany the Kingsford ribs in a motel room in Ely Nv. It will be a struggle equal to uncorking a bottle of wine w/ a manual cork puller but easier. Would this qualify as a 1st world problem?

Funny a P38 to open and a butter knife handle to shove the cork down and keep it open to pour
