Hi,

After some help. I work with kids in care, who have been destroying can openers at a record rate.

I need a heavy duty normal can open, one you squeeze the grips to pierce the can and turn the handle. Hopefully not a million pounds worth, but needs to be sturdy.

Any help gratefully received!

Cheers

I've had this one a few years now and still works just like new. Would recommend!

Crikey this is spooky....opening a tin of beans last night and thought to myself at the time “I wonder what the best tin opener is”. I need to get a life, clearly.

If I ever have a fray bentos craving, onlg my swiss army knife will get in. Havent found better yet. Lots of can openers will do a smoother cut. None will keep going as long as the swiss army knife.

Almost... I prefer the fixed one, known as the finnish can opener.

For a mere £670+

Or realistically anything with the name Bonzer works well

OXO ones are also pretty good
