The OXO Good Grips Snap-Lock Can Opener is a great product! As I have aged, I have lost some of my hand strength, so using an old-fashioned can-opener where you have to apply the pressure has become quite difficult. It is such a wonderful feature that this can opener locks and releases with the push of a button. The handles are soft and comfortable and easy to turn. This is a innovative, quality product and has made my life easier. I am very pleased with it!
