CHEFMATE Chefmate Can Opener

I bought this at Target and they no longer appear at Target online. Only 1 is left at Amazon. I assume they are taking this off the market because it simply does not work.

I don't know how you could screw up such a simple device, but they certainly managed to do so. I have never left a bad review before, but this can opener is SUCH a waste of $14.00 that I have felt an obligation to unsuspecting consumers everywhere to voice my experience. I ended up using my dollar store hand opener every time I would attempt to use it. Having a problem with my hands now and then, I found this nonfunctioning chunk of material sitting on my counter staring at me to be particularly infuriating.

This is the worst piece of junk I've ever used. I have yet to see it successfully open a can.

I only hope I'm able to repeat the magic the next time. If not, I'll definitely downgrade the rating. :)
