I definately have a brand preference. I thought I'd lost mine, so I bought another. It just didn't open cans like the original one - *wrong* brand.

The removed lid can also be placed back on top of the can for short term sealing. The sharp edge really isn't still there either as the way the cutting wheel works it rounds over that cut edge. |

Filter on that date appearing in the Subject header. That date won't appear in subsequent survey Subject headers so you won't be killing new ones that you haven't yet read. -- Blinky RLU 297263 Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

That's my problem with can openers. That is a lot of counter space wasted just to open a can of dog food every day, which is what ours is used for the most. I have one with a crank mounted on the wall. |

She believed some products were just far superior and didn't believe in buying any other brand no matter what the cost? Swing-A-Way can openers and the old Royal Velvet towels were two things she said you don't question buying (even though neither very pricey) and you will keep them forever as they were made to last. |
