This can opener is unlike any other I have ever used before and it's quickly becoming my favorite. The soft, textured grip on the handles and the crank make it so comfortable to hold and use. Once attached and locked into place it is so smooth and makes opening any can easy. It did take a few uses for me to get used to the locking system, but only because I've never used one like it before. The magnet is such a convenient feature as well, no more dirty fingers from fallen lids. Great functions, great quality.
