I own several can openers, of manual style with a star wheel,

They all work poorly and the wheel does not want to cut, and the star
wheel does not provide traction.

I saw these on TV 6-7 years ago and tried them out, and really like them:

They work by breaking the solder joint between lid and can (that's the metal
working content :-)), and do not have a cutting wheel and don't leave any
sharp edges. They have little pliers jaws to get the lid off easily, and
you can press the lid back on and get enough of a seal to keep partial cans
of stuff in the fridge for a few days. Haven't opened a condensed milk can
with them, but have opened lots of cans of tuna and other stuff without any
failures. The link is for the Oxo Good Grips version, they were the top
brand tested by America's Test Kitchen back then.
