I have used this for like 6 years and it has lasted and still works great. I like that the handles lock together and then unlock when you want use them. It makes it great for storing as well as getting a solid grip on your can. When you unlock them you stick them on the can, lock them again which keeps them in place so you get a perfect cut all the way around the can, without the can opener moving or handles coming apart. Amazing go buy them.
