Funny thing, back in the '70s I bought an electric can opener. I hated the damn thing. I still used the swingaway. I have an old P-38 that I used to wear on my key chain. These kids today don't know how tough we had it back in those days ...... no pop tops .......

My favorite are the bigger ones, like on a swiss army knife.
The P38 is too flimsy for me. I like having a bigger handle.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Thanked: 101I prefer the manually operated one that you turn the "butterfly" while squeezing the handles together. Or one in my Gerber Multi Plier or Victorinox/Wenger Swiss knives. My wife likes the automatic one. It works only half the time. I think the automatic ones should be banned. They scare me. There is no good use for a common "untrained" person to have one of these.................

Thanked: 1587I have a cache of military grade can openers. You never know when the citizenry will have to rise up and take back the state cannery operations, as our forefathers once did. As they said back then, and it holds true today: "No beans without representation!"

They should have developed a semi automatic can opener and outlawed the fully automatic ones ..... I guess they figured people would just buy the conversion kit anyway. They can take my can opener from my cold dead fingers is all I can say !!!!
