h&ouml;lm Kitchen Collection Professional Ergonomic Smooth Edge, Side Cut Manual Can Opener. Kitchen Cans, Lid Lifter with Easy Turn Design and Soft Grips Handle - Red ERGONOMIC - No more struggling to open cans. Fits easily in your hand.The handle is long enough and thick enough to give a good grip so your hands wont cramp while opening the can. The handle is also textured with a tacky rubber for traction so you can get a good grip. The handle is also longer than a standard can opener handle for better leverage and easier turning. SMOOTH CUTS - Creates a smooth edge on any can it opens so you won't have to worry about slicing your hand by accident. The can opener LIFTS the lid right off without slicing through metal. It undoes the seem that holds the can to the can lid. SIDE CUT - By far the safest way to open a can is with a side cutting can opener such as this one. Although called a "side cut" the opened actually doesn't slice through metal. It releases the lid from the can so it just pops right off like a jar lid. OPENS LIKE A JAR - No need to struggle to turn the handle as the opener's blade removes the lid just like a jar lid.
