Have you tried the other type of can openers, the one that completely removes the lid leaving no sharp parts afterwards.
Something like the on discussed in this video
This guy makes me want so many old appliances
I hope this doesn't awaken something in me.
Look. just embrace the inner nerd.
He's the Bob Ross of 20th century technology
That guy is just fantastic
God damnit. I'm trying to save money right now... and now... I want to buy a freakin can opener. I don't even open cans often! Uggghhh
Everyone raves about these but I find using the tin to strain the contents nigh impossible for things like tuna.
Still prefer the traditional from the top kind. Ima die on this tiny hill.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/i_mLxyIXpSY?t=384

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Bad bot
Honestly, the side-cutters suck.
They tend to dull out, and I'm concerned about the addhesive sealant (the gray goop, usually.).
Also, as a side note. you can't do things like using the lid to hold beans in place while rinsing them, or using the lid top to squeeze tuna. (I know, a bundle of contradictions here.) And, like really, does anybody know anyone that had more than a paper (probably bad,) paper cut from the old-school versions?
I got one of these after watching this video and it awesome.
If you want one of those which will survive the next three nuclear wars, I'm quite happy with this model: https://www.roesle.com/us/can-opener-with-pliers-grip/
