The Last Can Opener You'll Ever Buy 

I had a similar experience. I went through many cheap can openers, then I went to a thrift store and got a solid steel one.

Ditto on your story for the most part. Part of the issue is you see a brand and they own multiple labels on lots of items you buy. Not sure if that is the same with can openers but I was asking people about this about the time this video came out. Glad I came about this channel via another video. Still like the design of one grew up with as it is more compact the only downfall (from what I heard it lasted decades though) was the the it turned on or around plastic core (the rest was metal).

I too am sick & tired of cheap chinese metal bending, rusting, falling apart at the hinge. Thanks for the video. All 3 of my recent ones worked well at first, then in no time (very light use, i'm a fresh food fanatic) they'd break. I passed on the EZ-DUZ-IT because of many 1 star reviews on Amazon seemed no better than the others.

Hey Spencer! Hello from Chicago. Your channel has quickly become one of my recent favorites. Keep it up!

I laughed at the beginning of this video when you asked who's going to watch this video. I'm not going to lie, I bought so many in the past couple of years that it's ridiculous. I remember having one many years ago that lasted for years. Your video made me realize that it was probably made in the USA. Anyway, I will be buying one of these because I'm seriously frustrated by the fact that these can openers only last a month or two. They usually start slipping. The funny thing is that I barely use it. My roommate uses it a lot. So out of curiosity I Googled "how long does a can opener las?" I scrolled down and the very first video that showed up for being on RU-vid was yours so that's a good thing for your video. Thank you for your info. Definitely makes sense and hopefully when I get one, it'll last longer than usual. I'll try to remember to come back to reply and let you and others know any updates.

I've had this opener for a few years now still works great I tossed out my old KitchenAid after my first use with it everyone should have one of these in the kitchen

I had a very similar experience recently. The can opener my parents owned my whole upbringing never had any issues and I had assumed can openers were a technology which had been perfected. I bought a dollar store can opener which didn't work well at all, I bought a couple thrift store can openers assuming they would be better quality since they were old and they didn't work, I got fed up with lousy garbage and bought a couple simple P51 military can openers which I remember working well whenever I had to use them when I was a kid (but they're so small I lost them), and eventually I bought one at Target for $16 which didn't look like total garbage and is so far getting the job done but I suspect it will not last 40+ years. I think I'll probably end up buying an EZ-DUZ-IT for convenience and also a simple claw or lever style can opener as a reliable and non-mechanical backup.

I would watch 100 video recommendations from you for BIFL stuff.

sold! i've been struggling with this forever: thank you!

Those dollar store can openers are good in a pinch, but terrible daily drivers. We bought a Kitchenaid brand can opener for about $15 or more at Walmart and it seems to be holding up well. An electric can opener is also an option. I have not used one that was made in the past few decades, so I cannot compare it to the quality of the ones made today.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've always been a BIFL guy

This was awesome dude, simple things we use all the time and never stop to appreciate ❤ My Grandma cut her finger very bad years ago on the lid of a can, this would have helped!

Thank you, just ordered one, next ill watch your antenna review

I was wondering for a while if this channel was satire , troll or something like that. Now it is confirmed

Before watching...made in usa is key. If you can go to an antique store, look for the old style basic can opener from the mid century. They are the best and will outlast you.

Ordering now. I'm over the cheap crap that LOOKS like these but don't work.

Mine only lasted like a year... Replaced with 5 cheap ikea ones and the first one is still working after 5 years out of fear of being replaced...

I'd definitely jump on that if I lived in the US or Canada but alas I live in the UK. I have the same problem, can openers, what's wrong with them, it's so infuriating lol!

"The Last Can Opener You'll Ever Buy" ...that was a Swing-a-Way now 30+ years old. It seems counter intuitive, but I find turning the can opener counter clockwise to be better (jumps off the can less) than clockwise.

despite technology connections video, i hate the modern style can openers that go for the crease, i love these style because theyre fast at mowing down tons of weird shaped cans when i make chili, and you can use the lid to squeeze tuna water out unlike modern ones

Made in USA doesn't mean what it used to. They still make with cheap materials in the US. This is why there are a lot of reviews saying it this can opener also fails after a couple weeks. I've seen pics of the teeth chewed up like the Chinese ones, and the handles broken off. I was hoping you were going to show a new can opener. I also hate rubbized handles. They start slipping or they just lessen the room between the handles and as weeks go buy the steel starts to bend, then the rubber starts to touch, and then you can't grip enough for it to make a good solid hold and cut through.

ez duz it sounds like a rapper name.

So what makes this better than my 25+ y.o. Swing-A-Way?

Dude,i snap every can opener i ever use. I dont get it lol handle just snaps.most of them are pure junk and electric can openers are pointless....like...i really gotta plug this in right now? Lmao its nuts.
