Difficulty opening cans - I've found a great can opener πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

I imagine most people, like me, have some difficulty using can openers due to mild stiffness in my hands.

After trying various can openers this one I received yesterday is a game changer for me! πŸ‘

It's easy to attach, very easy to turn the handle - in fact I thought it wasn't working at first!

The lid comes off neat and clean.

It was Β£12.99 on Ebay πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

That looks interesting.

I use a battery one that I put on and press a button. I can't push anything round. Regardless, once you find one that suits you it's great. 🌻

I hope it's helpful for you. I've found it extremely easy to use - no white knuckles trying to twist the handle round!

My mum bought me a brilliant tin opener about 20 yrs ago. I think it was Β£20 from John Lewis. It’s still working!

That’s good to know thanks. I currently use one with very large handles you can grip making it a lot easier but have to admit if hubby is home I get him to open things.

For Christmas one year my brother got me a battery operated jar opener. One of the best presents ever. I do have an electric can opener but rarely use it. So many cans now have pull tabs.
