A safety can opener that doesn't create any sharp edges, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_mLxyIXpSY (a LONG video, but quite an interesting one IMHO).
It's nor even funny how much this thing is better than any other opener I've ever used, it's just so bloody amazing!
Knew what video it was before I clicked the link. We bought one because of that video!
It's amazing how someone can just tell when it's going to be a Technology Connections video. Such great videos on so many different topics!
Seconded. I never thought the subjects he chooses would make for good viewing but TC is consistantly surprisingly interesting.
I never saw this video but I knew it was going to be technology connection before clicking on the link.
Ordinary wheel-cutting can openers get used wrong - they should be cutting the side of the can and not the lid, with the knurled wheel flat and pressed against the rim of the can.
No sharp lip, and you don’t need to fish a lid out of the can. Downside is you can’t use a lid cover to “save” the contents if you don’t use them all.
see, i've tried using them the "right" way, but i've found that i'd rather have the lid be sharp than the can most of the time.
I have an OXO Good Grips one that has been great for 25 years.
Of course it's Technology Connections.
Good stuff
Like gramathy said, safety openers are just to make it difficult to use the tool wrong. Regular can openers are designed to do the same thing, but it isn't as obvious and limited in the design.
