Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Master Opener, Red

When I received this, it was bigger than I expected, but it has a good clean finish, and doesn't look cheap.

Right away I tried it on a can , and kept turning and turning, and nothing was happening. I had read some reviews before and some users have complained that it is too complicated or doesn't work, and I was getting worried that it is really a difficult tool to use.

This is a great can opener. This cuts the middle of the lid roll and leaves no sharp edges to cut plastic trash bags or hands or tongues if you like to lick the can lids. Easy and fun to use.
