Amazon.com Review Don't mess with a classic: the Swing-A-Way can opener not only boasts a Good Housekeeping award, but was also the first can opener in outer space. Thanks to a patented gear-driven cutting wheel, the opener requires less elbow grease to turn the crank, and the rubberized handles cushion your hands from what little work they're doing. Simple, classic, and well designed, the can opener includes a small built-in bottle opener, as well as a five-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
The BEST Can Opener Out There!!!!February 17, 2003 20 out of 22 found this review helpful
My husband bought this can opener when we first got married 12 years ago! We use it all the time. We have never even owned another one. It is still working wonderfully and I will definately buy another if this one ever wears out...which I doubt will happen any time soon.

Years ago my Dad said this was the one brand to buy. He said that anyone who lived in earthquake country or who love camping knew that a manual opener was a must.
This one is better than ever and even if you have problems with your hands like arthritis, you should be able to handle this opener. The cutting blade is easy to clean. I use a tooth brush and clean mine after each use and then pop in the dishwasher weekly.

I have been using Swingaway can openers for years, although I have tried the safety openers as well; I found the others to be too hard to work, whereas the Swingaway requires only the barest extra effort over an electric can opener. As for comments that it is hard to clean... one reason I use one is that I can actually clean it! When I look at other people's electric can openers, I have to back away, they're scary. Over the years I have bought extras, to have one at work, one in the car, one at home, and one for every dear friend. This is a great value!
would give it more stars if I couldNovember 18, 2002 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have bought numerous can openers and used that cool electric one that claims to uncrimp the can but really just cuts the side of the lid. For my money, this is THE BEST, the EASIEST, and the most reliable can opener, and it works when the electricity is out or when you're camping.

If you have cats, you might want to buy two. One for cat food and one for cooking. Never should the two be confused. :)
Now, this can opener is gear driven so you do have to work harder than if you purchased a automatic can opener. I just don't have room for one, so I prefer how easily these store in the drawer.
You can easily remove lids from any size can. The handles are comfortable and the precision-crafted stainless steel will last a long time.
