one thing I find annoying with can openers in general is that cans seem to
be shrinking in metal thickness and some can openers can't deal with the
thin cans.

If that's so, "adjust" your can opener with a hammer.


I love the concept of the can opener that cuts the top off from the
side.
There are several on the market that do this, allowing you to use the
top of the can as a replaceable lid.

However..each of those Ive tried last about 5 cans then break.

Any good ones out there?

And the trend in making the rims thinner/smaller sure has played hell
with my electric can openers. Takes me about 3x as long trying to get
a large dogfood or catfood can open, fumble ****ing around.
