World's Best Can Opener: Say NO to China, Yes to USA Made 

You definitely should have done one very important thing in this video......OPEN A CAN WITH IT SO WE CAN SEE!

Thanks for the review, this is one of the hardest things to find, a can opener that actually WORKS! :)

I just recently bought one of these after going through many made in China garbage openers. This thing is awesome. I couldn't believe how it cut through the can lid like butter. It's also cheap price wise. Worth every penny.

I bought this 'EZ Duz It' can opener this month. It functions reliably and quickly.

I totally agree with this. In buying cutlery, it's always important to consider the quality and where it's made. Better safe than sorry!

I had the same issue as you with bad can openers. I was buying new ones that wouldnt even work. The ez duz it is the best f'n thing ever made. I've had mine for 2 years and it cuts like new, flawless 100% cut and super smooth. It is the best can opener made today,

It isn't the Chinese to blame, it's the corporations that give them the specs to meet a profit margin to buy yachts.

Unfortunately the made in the USA doesn’t work very well either. Bought one at Walmart and right off the bat didn’t completely cut through the can. Great for straining the liquids.

Even something as simple as a can opener is better when made in the USA.

I have one of these EZ DUZ IT openers and this can opener is great! I use to buy Swing Away but no longer do as they shifted their manufacturing to China in 2008. No thank you! Buy USA and it’s really close to the cost of the China manufactured ones from Swing Away. Wake up Swing Away!

Thank you very much: I'm going to order. One time I tried to open a can of chicken soup with a brand new can opener from the Dollar tree and it took me about a half an hour to get it open. One time I completely destroyed some cans to the point where I just through just through them away.

The best can opener you can buy is a Swing a way Automatic made in the Early 1960, this can not be worn out, it is in service for the last 57 years, it looks like new, it works like new smooth, quiet, never drops a can. The Automatic feature sets the blade down-automatic you just turn the crank forward when your done turn the crank backward, that easy. This is designed to go on the wall, but it has had NO maintaince from day one. Made with hardened Stainless steel cutter wheels. Go treat yourself, you will never need to think about it again.

The gears wear out FAST on the cheap crap can openers.... metal shavings can also get in your food!

Well done. Something i had trouble with too.

Swing - A - Way , to me is a great can opener. I have had one for several years now. very heavy duty. I haven’t tried this one and I am sure it is a good one also.

Nice. I work for JJS and have a few of these can openers. They work great.

Swing Away is the BEST can opener EVER!!

Thanks for the review. I feel the same way you do about electric can openers but the manual ones do not work properly after a short time. Yes, kind of frustrating. Just purchased "EZ-DUZ-IT 3028 Deluxe Can Opener" from Amazon - its around $14.00 now - due to your review. Thanks!

I end up grabbing my P-38. It opens any can, even dented ones, and it actually gets sharper with use. It's not for everyone, but with a little practice, you can open a can pretty fast. It's easy to clean, too! You can find them on-line or at most stores that sell camping gear. I learned about the P-38 in the '70s from GI buddies returning from Vietnam. I've been using them since then. I've never worn one out. I eventually lose it and have to buy another. A tip: grip the can over the top with your other hand as you complete the cut. That will keep the lid from rotating "into the drink."

"Made In China" equal CRAP 99.9% of the time. Guitars? Crap. Openers? Crap. Light Bulbs? Crap....Why? inferior materials and workmanship. I don't blame the workers but rather the conditions. All about $$$$'s and greed. To hell with the customer, Long Live the Investors!!! is the thought of today!! Made In USA doesn't always mean it's going to be great, but the odds are MUCH better. You're correct. It's about more profits for corporate America, NOT paying people middle-income wages in this country, and keeping the masses pacified because they can all have 3 TV's and a whole pile of junk in our "throw-away" society, while the middle class is sold out for 3rd world country labor and communist country slave labor. "So what if I make less....everything costs less".....meanwhile, nobody can save money except for those in the upper classes.

I was lucky to get the EZ-DUZ-IT from Rainbow Restaurant Supply on the Bowery in NYC. I tried it to open canned salmon, really nice. Someone said though that when he washed it, it rusted. What about water, should I just wipe it down with a paper towel instead of washing on the sink. I'm not a fan of buying on Amazon, sometimes they can be knockoffs. It cost me with tax $16.28 Cuisinart one I had barely lasted 2 years.

Bought a USA made one at Walmart. 10 bucks. Wouldn’t open the first can. Bought a dollar one at dollar tree. Opened about 10 cans before it broke. Neither is impressive, but really really disappointed.

Thanks.....I was beginning to think you could not buy a working can opener anymore.

I have a swing away, made in the USA. Works right, everytime.

Proponent of buy American? Maybe you should hide the Toshiba computer in the background.

I like your Toshiba computer too ! Looks like assembled in China !

I bought one in a local grocery store, made in China, which opened one can then broke

"John J. Steuby Co., the company behind EZ-DUZ-IT, used to manufacture components for the Swing-A-Way before its production was moved to China in 2008, according to a representative of the John J. Steuby Co."

I bought one Chinese-made can opener and it was a piece of junk. Never again! I bought a Brabantia, made in the Netherlands- excellent quality and well worth the higher price.

It's a copy of the Swing A Way brand that is now made abroad.....very good design, like the original Swing A Way .....instructions said not to submerge in water or put in dishwasher.....personally why anyone would do that is a mystery......just wipe it down and put it away......it will outlive you.

I just came across your video because my can opener is really completely rusted and isn't cutting like it used to. Still cuts! Just not like it used to. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to soak in some vinegar and see what it looks like tomorrow. Anyway the can opener I'm referring to is the only can opener I've ever known in my whole life. LOL since I was a child my mother only had this one can opener. It's a little different looking than the one shown your video. But it says made in the US swing-a-way and turn engraved in the metal. She's probably had it since the early sixties I bet.

Looks very much like a SwingAway can opener.

I bought several can openers from Walmart and dollar stores. All Chinese crap. The gears are soft metal and strip bend or just wear down quickly. None made in USA.

Electric can openers have a hull that is made of plastic. Some are plug-in rechargeable, some require batteries. In the end the electric ones don't feel as durable as the original Swing-A-Way/ EZ-DUZ-IT.

I hate using crappy can openers they start then want to fall off over and over again, thanks for the head up, don't use can openers that much but when the can doesn't open and its late at night and the foods cooking waiting for that ingredient...all of a sudden its now important .

A 2 MINUTE VIDEO STRETCHED OUT WAYYYYYYY TOO LONG...COULDN'T WATCH TO THE END. WAY TO SLOW GETTING TO THE INFO I WANTED. SEEMS SOMEBODY HAS WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS

IF I WAS IN THE US , ID GET ONE RIGHT NOW

I could not agree more about products made in China, Japan or overseas for that matter. I am pretty much a buy American girl :). I wish more companies would understand that when they look outside the U.S. to have their products made they are devaluing America. There are so many people in this country that out of work. I say keep the products and the work here and buy U.S. made products only. I promised my daughter a can opener that works as a gift when she moves and I am going to buy her the one in this video!!! Thanks for sharing.

10.6 oz.? Interesting. My Swing-A-Way (which I bought new in the mid or late 1990s, and which has "Made In USA" stamped on it - i.imgur.com/JfakYxe.jpg), only weighs 9.023 oz. I wonder where the extra ~1.6 oz. in these Swing-A-Way copies are coming from? How thick is the sheet steel on yours? Mine is 0.076", which translates to 14 gauge. Mine still works like new by the way, even after ~20 years of frequent usage. It sucks that Swing-A-Ways are made in China now, but it's nice to know that the American company which actually manufactured them for Swing-A-Way (John J. Steuby Co.) is still making them under the "EZ-DUZ-IT" name.

God Bless you man. Made in USA !

Being conscientious about earths limited resources & the environmental damage that goes into manufacture products in which the conscious withdrawal of efficiency or planned obsolescence is inherent in the use of money to ration resources, does anyone know of a can opener where the manufacturer sells replacement cutting blades?

HOW DO YOU ORDER???

And you did not have to give a link to tech support!! : )

swing-a-way brand is the best

How many people here had to open a can with a pocket knife today? 😆

I have this can opener and it is great. I purchased another that was described to be the same but when I received it was a smaller, cheap version. However the cheap version had the identical made in america packaging, and stamped into the metal also was made in America, with the name of the USA manufacturer. It did not work well at all, a waste. I got a full refund from a seller on Amazon. The difference between the good & bad one is the good one has 2 gears, is a full swing away and is bigger and heavier. I am guessing maybe the inferior one was a counterfeit? Beware.

Ha Ha. I thought it was just my bad luck with can openers. Thinking maybe I was using them wrong or something .LOL .I have went through at least 6 in the last 5 years or so. Well its time for a new one again so i decided to do some research and find i good one , and thats how i ended up finding this video and others that share the same problem. Im not alone it seems.

Couldn't find one in video. Found USA Made "goodcook" U.S.A. can opener today at Walmart. One of 2 left. Very true, USA Made the best-----they work!. All the Chinese junk still hanging except for the ones I've pitched. Never found one that worked on even one can. My "goodcook" is on a blue card with USA can opener in large white letters. Cut through small and tall cans like butter. So smooth. Time will tell durability. Almost $10.00. Worth every penny. Do not buy those tall electric can openers with the pointed blade. Chinese junk, jams, groans and moans. Forget a tall can, not going to cut. Mine from Aldi to garbage. Watch those side cutters. You can have a sharp edge. Openers that lift lid off. Work for few weeks= junk=China again.

All talk, no opening cans? Lol.

Nope. I bought 2 of these and they ended up rusting out. The blade cannot be sharpened and gets filthy dirty, even with repeated washings and use of a Brillo. A simple p-38 is a better can opener because it is clear to use. I switched to one like that.

i purchased a can opener from Hometown gourmet (china) i did not realize it was nice looking piece of JUNK it broke after 1 use why can i not find a can open that works!!!!!! As for OXO it broke before i could use it, i may start using frozen food cans are a pain in my butt!!!!

"EZ-DUZ-IT" is rated ONE STAR by 28% of customers!!!!!!! They HATE it!!!! Is this company paying RU-vidrs for favorable reviews????

Thank you for your video. My husband is a proponent in made in the USA

Got one today after burning through about 6 or 7 crap ones over the last few years, It's noticeably heavier and sturdier...

Wimpy talking wrist too weak to show the dern' thing opening a can?

It is no way that you pay a Ford price and ask for a Bentley quality. You pay $1 for a Chinese made product and want to get the same experience as the $10 Amercian product. It is not fair. $10 Chinese made product is much better than Amercian made one because Amercians dont know manufacture.

F

I am not rich enough to buy cheap Chinese made crap.

Easy to stamp " Made in USA" on a product - who checks it is true?

Bought a USA made one at Walmart. 10 bucks. Wouldn’t open the first can. Bought a dollar one at dollar tree. Opened about 10 cans before it broke. Neither is impressive, but really really disappointed.
