Product Description
It doesn't matter how deluxe an electric can opener you may have, if you lose electricity it won't do you a darn bit of good. So, for that reason alone every household should have a manual can opener. Why not make it one that works easily, without falling off the can and without requiring you to both squeeze and turn with superhuman strength?
Amazon.com Review
With a lock that keeps the blades tightly in place, the Snap-Lock can opener is the perfect choice for those with limited hand strength or troubled by arthritis. The large, curved handles fit into any hand, and the oversize knob turns easily, relieving pressure on the hands. The slightly arc-shaped handles are designed to distribute tension evenly, and the lock can be released by a simple push of the button.

Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

1.0 out of 5 stars Don`t do it!, May 14, 2000
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Locking Can Opener (Kitchen)
I used to work in a cooking supply store, and I saw so many of these returned. The idea is great but the lock breaks way too easily. Most of the OXO Good Grips items are great, but they need to work on this one. If you want to risk it, get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, a can opener you can get excited about!, May 4, 2000

Who'd think a cheap kitchen tool could excite such passion among its owners? I bought mine after using one at a friend's house, and have since thrown out all the other openers in the kitchen drawer.

It's easy to use, easy to clean (dishwasher safe!) and more convenient than an electric. Worth every penny.

3.0 out of 5 stars The locking mechanism broke, November 28, 2000

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Locking Can Opener (Kitchen)
Last Xmas (1999) I bought my wife two of these. The locking mechanism broke on the first one in January of 2000. The locking mechanism on the second one broke in mid 2000. From what I'm reading in the other reviews, this is a common happening.

From that part of it, the thing probably deserves 1 star. However, the thing still works as a can openener, even though the lock broke. Taken strictly on the can opener part of it, it's got a nice grip - feels better than most can openers, but probably isn't worth the extra money.

Overall, it's just "OK". If you like the rest of the Oxo line, you'll probably like this - although I bet your lock will break before too long, and it'll just be any other can opener then.
