--Crimmeney for a fairly simple machine there sure are some crummy
examples on the market. SWMBO doesn't have the hand strength to make a
decent cut any more and I haven't done much better. Does anyone know of a
reeeeally robust can opener, preferably electric?

Not electric, but the Swing-Away brand available at yard sales for 5 to 25
cents sure open cans easy, even for this old fart with carpal tunnel and all
that. Very little effort, and the handles are long, giving you good
leverage, and wide so they don't hurt your fingers where you grasp them.
I'd buy another in a heartbeat, but the one I have will probably outlast me,
and it was used when I got it years ago.
