Wahey! Show us yer.... tin openers?
Times have indeed, changed.
I need a new can opener and am looking for a reasonable one that isn't electric. What have you got, lads?

Bins next, TC? What’s your washing line like?
This opener is ace and the easiest I ever used. And it does that thing where it makes the cut edges not sharp.

Re: Wahey! Show us yer.... tin openers?
I was just thinking yesterday that I haven’t had to use a can opener in years as they seem to have ring pulls. I did on Saturday though to open condensed milk for my key lime pie, with the can opener that I bought to take to university about 30 years ago!

I know, I know.
Its true that they aren't really that much of a thing anymore, but I had a ring pull break on me last week and it made unfeasibly angry when I also discovered that my can opener was no longer up to the job.
30 years is good! I am hoping that this next one that I buy will last long enough to see me off so I never have to think about this kind of rubbish again.

We have this Joseph Joseph one I don't recollect ever having another one so it's probably around 15 years or more old

This is relevant to my interests as the one we have is utter shite.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

I also have an OXO good grips one; it's about ten years old now and still going strong.

I’ve got the Kuhn Rikon one as well. As Edith says, it basically opens the tins by unsealing the join, so you don’t end up with a sharp edge on either the tin or the lid. It’s very good.

I have the OXO one, it seems to only ever be needed to open cans of coconut milk, and it does that well. Easily 15 years old.

It’s also good for opening ring pull cans with the pointy bit at the other end.

I've had this crocodile tin opened for about 20 years. Then I use the others for ring pulls and jars/bottles.

Re: Wahey! Show us yer.... tin openers?
I've got one of those jar lid openers too but I can't use it for love nor money. I have never successfully opened a lid with it.
