Just bought a new can opener for 59p from Woolies. Old fashioned metal type works fine.
I've lost track of how many fancy safe can openers we've bought in the last few years and none of them have lasted any time at all. Spent loads of money on them and they either don't work to start with or cease working effectively very quickly. The last one wasn't doing much more than tickling the tin and that cost £15. Is it a side effect of openers that don't cut through the lid in the traditional way that they wear out much more quickly?
So can anyone recommend a good safety can opener that actually works and lasts for more than 5 minutes or do I stick with the 59p job?
