For example you write with your left hand and open the top of the can with your left hand.

With a manual can opener I use both hands, but my dominant hand turns the crank.

I wasn't even thinking about a can opener, I was thinking about a beverage with the tab to open xD

lol - I didn’t even think of that. I still use my dominant hand to pop the tab.

That tells me you are right handed. Those can openers are built in such a way that they can't be used the other way. Scissors too.

Hold the can opener with the hinged end pointing toward you with your right hand on the left side of the can, twist with left hand.

This guy lefts.

I wonder what kind of can opener OP is talking about then?

[–] NewNewAccount 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His description implies the top of a soda can. Thus a pull tab top can.

Someone else interpreted the same way you are.

I still use my dominant hand.

Ned Flanders has a left-hand store.

Do they do mail order?

[–] mvirts 3 points 3 months ago

I almost put no because a can opener isn't my dominant hand
