Don't mess with a classic: the Swing-A-Way can opener not only boasts a Good Housekeeping award, but was also the first can opener in outer space!

Since 1938 swing-a-way can openers have proven to be of the highest quality. Thanks to a patented gear-driven cutting wheel, the opener requires less elbow grease to turn the crank, and the rubberized handles cushion your hands from what little work they're doing. Simple, classic, and well designed, the can opener includes a small built-in bottle opener, as well as a five-year limited warranty.

Testers' Comments:

"Testers praised the handy "change in feeling" once the can was completely open. The "dishwasher-safe claim was spot-on: There were no changes in performance or appearance after several wash cycles."

Type of Can Opener:
Top-mounting safety opener with pincers for lid removal.

The cutting wheel of the Can Opener runs
smoothly and safely along the can rim without contact to the contents. Cutting along the side permits easy lifting of the top for re-use as a lid. The cut tin edge is blunt and smooth.
