Amazon.com Review
Don't mess with a classic: the Swing-A-Way can opener not only boasts a Good Housekeeping award, but was also the first can opener in outer space. Thanks to a patented gear-driven cutting wheel, the opener requires less elbow grease to turn the crank, and the rubberized, ergonomic handles cushion your hands from what little work they're doing. Simple, classic, and well designed, the can opener includes a small built-in bottle opener, as well as a five-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Customer Reviews

EVERYTHING GOOD YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS CAN OPENER IS INVARIABLY TRUE! -- WOW!
IN A NUTSHELL: THE GOLD STANDARD FOR THE PRICE OF TIN

As can openers go - there are none better, but the fact that these are available for around $10. and last literally forever seems too good to be true. Nevertheless, it is true. Like many other people, we have tried a lot of different can openers, some electric some hand held, but we always come back to the one that has always been in our kitchen -- 'SWING-A-WAY'.

WHAT MAKES THE 'SWING-A-WAY CAN OPENER' SUPERIOR TO OTHER CAN OPENERS?

3 components contribute synergistically to Swing-A-Way's success;

1]- Very durable Tempered Steel gears with a cutting edge that stays sharp literally forever.

2]- Ample leverage provided by a large chrome-plated steel turn-key to assure enough torque into the gears to open any can simply by hand turning.

3]- Plastic coated Steel handles that facilitate penetration of the can by the cutting edges with just ordinary hand pressure.

WHY ARE THESE LONG LASTING SUPER CAN OPENERS SO INEXPENSIVE?

With only several moving parts made of easily manufactured components that are sold on a huge scale worldwide, it costs very little to make this product despite its excellence.

[I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY PRODUCT OR COMPANY BUT WE HAVE USED 'SWING-A-WAY' LITERALLY FOREVER WITH UNIFORMLY EXCELLENT RESULTS]

Purchase two. One for the cats and one for you!
If you have cats, you might want to buy two. One for cat food and one for cooking. Never should the two be confused. :)

Now, this can opener is gear driven so you do have to work harder than if you purchased a automatic can opener. I just don't have room for one, so I prefer how easily these store in the drawer.

You can easily remove lids from any size can. The handles are comfortable and the precision-crafted stainless steel will last a long time.

~The Rebecca Review

Like Slicing Through Butter!
This is a wonderful, classic can opener. It easily grasps the can, and turning the gears is nearly effortless. The soft, padded handles are comfortable in your hand.

I don't know if you're supposed to do this or not, but when it's time to clean my Swing Away, I just run it through the dishwasher. Cleans up like a dream!

Makes a great housewarming gift!
