We've been using the same Tupperware brand 'side-cut' can opener for at least 20 years now and it still works good almost all of the time. Once in a while an odd can may need to be run through a second or third time but so far it has always cut the top off and never left with any sharp edge on lid or can. The handle and twist crank are some kind of thick, tough hard plastic but nothing has ever broke or even cracked on it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent can manual opener? Seems the only we can get to last more than a couple months is the one on my Swiss Army knife
Very frustrating Most of the modern world has access to electricity. Buy an older Rival off Ebay and live happily ever after.

Definitely prefer that one with tits. Seems like a good choice, be betting there is an entire book of instructions and disclaimers though...all in small print.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

.. US swing aways on eBay may be worn out.. These get a good wrap and are a USA made clone.. the maker purchased the US Swingaway manf. equipment. so it's basically a rebranded Swingaway.!! http://www.sierravalleytrading.com/...A-VALLEY-LIFETIME-GUARANTEE-_p_1623.html

Kinda on topic. What about what we used to call a "Church Key"? I like them to open chicken broth and such, but the ones found now will bend instead of opening a can. There were several in my Mother's drawer when She passed on, but I do not know what Happened to them. Sister or Nephew probably got them, or they may have been thrown away. I know there was one Griesedieck Brothers beer opener in there. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

All you P-38 fans remember when everyone had at least one of these on their keychain?

The Pampered Chef can opener is hands down the best. I have one and I agree - its the best can opener I've ever had. Looking over the thread I'm suprised at how many people have one. I didn't think the Hunters Campfire would be a big pampered chef kinda place. We have a bunch of their stoneware.

Mine is not the Pampered Chef brand, but it is that same design in the links above. It's a game changer for can openers.

When we got married (51 years ago) we had one of those ubiquitous, cheap, Ecko can openers. It opened a ton of cans and lasted about 25 years. We bought another just like it (about 6 bucks) and got another 15 years out of that one. Since then, we have bought a dozen. A Pampered Chef opener lasted about a year until I was compelled to throw it out over the back fence. The current opener, picked up at the Dollar Store, is working well after a year. GD

Kuhn Rikon, Swiss made (kuhnrikonshop.com). Easiest and smoothest I've ever used. Son in law gave it to us over 10 years ago, still going strong.

I've used a few different ones, including my P38 when there was no other option but we got an OXO a few years ago and that thing not only works, but it is comfortable in your hands while cutting cleanly through the lid. We liked it so much we bought another one for the trailer and we bought one for the elk hunting camp utensils.... we've had our first one at least 10 years and it is still working like new...
