Subject says all. Yet another cheap plastic can opener went in the trash the other day and I remember commenting to a friend "you know, I swear my mom used the same can opener for something like 30 years. Why can't I find one that will last two?" I'm pretty sure hers was the typical all stainless (or chrome plated?) manual Swing-A-Way that pretty much everyone had back in the 60s or 70s.
Where can I get one like that?
Amazon reviews seem to indicate that Ez-Duz-It is basically the final iteration of the Swing-A-Way before SAW offshored. True?
Is there anything else out there that's worth a crap and not made from poop and fail?
I couldn't think of a better forum to post this on, since BF is all about cutting and stuff...
It is truly sad that we've gotten to the point where it is so hard to find a simple consumer product like a manual can opener that can actually be relied upon to repeatably perform its intended function (at least not without researching online and mail-ordering... useta be that you could just walk into Kroger, pick up a Swing-A-Way can opener off the display, pay $5, good for another couple decades.)
thanks!
