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
Comment: Bought mine in 2006, after I got tired of can openers that did that twist thing where they dent and mangle but do not fully open the can. That was a great choice. This can opener is still going strong in 2010

Comment: Listen throw out all the others, this is your final purchase, I used it somewhere and actaully decided i was going to buy it for myself. For the persons who bought and reviewed this procudt badly 10 YEARS ago, would u like to buy and try again. Its still affordable and i really had no doubts buying it seeing that i used it already grips tightly and spins the can as u EASILY turn the knob with minimum effort. GREAT GREAT buy and worth my money

Comment: Great product. It's soft and easy on your hands, as well as to use. It works quietly. Locks in place while turning and when you are done you can press the button to unlock the rotating device, without having the can's contents splatter on you. Great kitchen gadget!
