Farberware Skilled Can Bottle Opener, One Measurement, Black/Silver,5227163

Great can opener!
Sturdy, easy on the hands and makes can opening easy. We’ve had one of these for many years. Purchased this one as a backup since I wasn’t about to go through a post-hurricane no-power stint without being able to open cans if my other one broke. Can’t be too careful, right? However, the original one (which is our regular opener because we don’t like electric can openers) is still going strong with no end in sight. Highly recommend!

Purchased Jul/2020
Upd 2/17/22It doesnt work anymore, tried loosening the turn mechanisms, didnt work, tried tighten the actual screw on the blade, didnt work. Ultimately, within the 6 months of owning this it was already starting to go downhill, and it finally did after 5 months. So in all, I’ve had this for about a year, first 6 months it worked ok, after 6 months, the remaining 5 months was counting down to today. Didnt last!

Do I have to give it a star? It doesn’t work.
I thought, “This is by Faberware, an established company that must know how to make a can opener.” Well, apparently the junior engineer that designed the product didn’t know what he was doing, and his supervisor was on vacation when the product design was reviewed in CAD, so he must have rubber stamped the design (because the wheel that cuts the can isn’t close enough to the gears that hold the can). Then the quality engineer didn’t bother to prototype the device, he just plumb forgot and okayed it for production. And the head of engineering and product development was nearing retirement, because somehow the product was green lighted to go to manufacturing without basic checks to the design. Then, once the product was manufactured, no one bothered to take the first unit off the assembly line to test it on a can. Or if they did, they didn’t care enough about the Faberware brand to adjust the design. Maybe they had a lot of sunk costs that they thought would miraculously turn into a good investment in a product that works. But that story book fairytale was never to be. And so, the purchasers of this product are left holding a non functional can opener that was a waste of money, materials and energy. ……Upon review, I also have a Faberware knife that doesn’t cut straight. I keep forgetting to not use it on fruit. ….I had never checked the brand. But sure enough, it’s a Faberware too. I almost want to go out and buy other Faberware products just to test them. But I’ll leave that to another enterprising soul.

Maybe I am weak
Do these work? For me – 50% of the time. I cut myself so bad trying to pry a stupid can open after these failed that I had to super glue my hand shut. My fiance says he has no problem with them so maybe I’m just super weak. They might work for you if you are able to hold them close really tight on whatever you’re opening. If you have to ask your husband to open a lot of jars, these probably aren’t for you.

Es buen producto, no batallas nada para abrir cualquier lata.

Très bien jusqu’à présent.
