My 30 year old Swing Away is getting dull or something. If I want the
lid to come off cleanly, I have to crank it backward a fraction of an
inch before going around the can forwards. If I forget to do that, the
lid ends up being held to the can by a little sliver of metal. I'll
probably have to replace it someday.
