I bought a not cheap hand crank can opener about 10 years ago, it was a
well-known brand that escapes me at the moment. But I really had my
doubts as it had a plastic bushing on the handle. Less than 2 years later
it broke making it completely useless. I had saved the receipt and card
it was attached to and returned it because it had a lifetime guarantee.
They replaced it free of charge but I gave it to my neighbor since I had
already bought a Kitchenaid that did not have that plastic bushing.
