Got hip to your channel off your homeschooling videos and came across this for whatever reason. I know I'm late to the party but unlike Edi I think a small vid like this is interesting. Never seen a swing arm opener but I might have to get one. One thing I might recommend that I do with smaller openers (like the pioneer woman you showed) that might be useful with this big one (if you haven't already done it) is cutting from the side of the can. Instead of playing the opener vertical, tip it to lay horizontal over the can with the blade on the outside and just take the top right off. It will leave the edge sharper, but seems like it would be easier to manage with that big arm on a small can. Anyway, thanks for your vids! I'm slowly working my way through your channel and enjoying every minute. Stay blessed.
Most will not understand what you are saying but a few, like me, will. I have a swing-a-way and it worked with mediocre results. When I started using it to cut the side of the can, it was magic! Lefties can also use this equally as well.
It has a soft thick rubber cover over each handle, not squishy The crank part moves smoothly. It's been a great can opener and the only one I use now. Still going strong.
A better one than I am used to. Not sure I've ever seen one so big. I'm glad I got it. Plus, in case of emergencies it's best to have more than one in case one breaks or gets lost.

Thank you for the kind words and the tip!
I've used my swing a way for 30 years never needed another. Try turning the can opener sideways and opening your tuna can instead.

I have pain in my fingers and need soft grips.
How soft is the grip on the crank?
How about the handles?

It's a can opener, so what?
