I was >< close to going that route!

This one is the bees knees. The only weird thing is that the can rotates counter-clockwise, but I am over that already.

I have several of that type, they suck balls. I mentioned skipping, and squeezing in my post, that type is why.

Top cutter can openers can be used as side cutters also. That way you have options. Side cut only can openers are gayer than a Gay Bukake party.

If I can get 6 months or more from this one I will consider that a win.

The P series ones won't ever fail, but that is too much work for me.

I don't have space for or need the ones that crank open 10 pound cans. Also, no counter space for the lock down electrics that seem to work.

My folks have a manual one that clicks closed when you squeeze the handles, that works well but I haven't found one online that had decent reviews.

I just hate the ones you have to squeeze and keep tight, those types' teeth fail within like a week.

For now, this one is my jam.

When the first one stopped working properly I got another one. It also failed after a while.

But does it cut through the side of the CAN, or through the edge of the RIM?

The original of these side-cutter designs was the Zyliss, and it cut a single layer of the RIM, which is multifolded.  The result was a can lid that came off, left no edge to cut yourself on, and could be pressed back on top of the can to form a reasonable seal again if you only used part of the stuff inside.

Every other side-cutter that I've ever found slashes through the side of the can's main tube, leaving a sharp edge and completely removing the entire top so that it can't be put back on.

This is the Zyliss.  https://www.amazon.com/Zyliss-Safe-Edge-Opener-Manual/dp/B072LN999L

Try the one in my OP.

Skipping sucks. Squeezing sucks. In the end I may have to eat crow.

For now, I am very impressed.

I have used the pincher type to act as a P series type. THAT sucks, too. I can see the appeal of the manual type.
