This piece of *** opened approximately 5-6 cans. My wife loved this little gem. I (her boneheaded husband) used it once and it wouldn't open the can completely. Now it's my fault that I don't have the sense to operate the toy. (Yet, People trust their lives in my hands everyday). The steel barrel that is supposed to meet the gears on the opposite side of the can got bent (approx. 6 degrees off center). Just enough for the blade to no t come into contact with the can's edge. Of course not box, no warranty. Now, I've got a ticked off wife that wants her can opener operational.
