My roomie threw away my Swing-a-way can opener of about 25 years, citing: the blade was dirty, and it was "OLD"! It worked just fine, and after they pulled me off of her, I went about buying can opener, after can opener for several years. I never found one that was as smooth, easy to use, or would last. UNTIL NOW! I won't know for sure about the longevity until more time has passed, but it sure is smooth and easy to use. JUST LIKE THE ORIGINALI ran across the EZ-DUZ-IT here on Amazon, and immediately bought one. It works like the old Swing-a-way that is now made in china and does not last like the original ones. I won't know for about 5 years if this one is as good, but the first month of owning one is promising!How did EZ-DUZ-IT come to be? Looks like good old American "Know-How", might not be dead yet. A family owned screw machine business called "Steuby manufacturing" has purchased the old Swing-A-Way equipment, and put it back to work. They are now creating American manufacturing jobs, and once again making the "worlds BEST can opener". It is an exact duplicate of the Swing-A-Way in look and feel. AND, it is supposedly made with the higher quality materials of the old Swing-a-way. Time will tell. The new Chinese made Swing-A-way no longer lasts like the old American made version. I have no idea why, because it looks the same. But the tolerances, and/or the quality of the material have made the Swing-A-Way into just another throw away can opener.GREAT NEWS!There is even a company out there (http://www.sierravalleytrading.com/) the sierra valley trading company, that is honoring the original lifetime warranty of the original Swing-A-Way. If you make any purchase on their site, and you have an original Swing-A-way where the gears bind, they will do a rebuild of your original for FREE!I have not had to try to get one fixed, but a friend of mine got me a used Made in America Swing-A-way (with the made in America stamp on the metal). It works well, but occasionally it binds on smaller cans. I am going to try to get it rebuilt, and will report back on what happens.First I will try direct through the Steuby company, and if that does not work, I will try through Sierra valley trading company.In the mean time, if you have any doubts about a can opener purchase? The EZ-Duz-It is just a 9 dollar can opener. It is made in the USA, and It really is the best hand cranked can opener ever made, why are you waiting? Try it and see for yourself! You won't be disappointed.

I was looking for a can opener for a friend moving into a new home. I really wanted a duplicate of my old, reliable Swing-A-Way can opener with red handles--the same kind we had when I was a kid. Unfortunately, the current Swing-A-Way can opener that *looks* like my old one no longer bears the "U.S.A" stamp. It's now made in China. I wanted a durable tool made in the US to exacting standards—while also employing people locally. While doubtful about the name, I ordered the EZ-DUZ-IT after doing my research.I can't begin to express how satisfied I am with the "EZ-DUZ-IT Deluxe Can Opener with Red Grips" made by John J. Steuby Co. in Missouri. I'm convinced that this can opener is an equivalent replacement of my trusty old Swing-A-Way.Feel: Solid, comforting weight with smooth rubberized grip, familiar turning handle, and even the bottle top opener on the side. The exposed edges of the can opener are sufficiently smooth; I have no concerns about a child or an elder injuring themselves.Function: The opener works like a charm: Easy puncture of the lid when closing the can opener, and easy, smooth rotation removes lids with ease. No serrated edges on the removed can top/lid; no sharper than the lids left by my faithful old Swing-A-Way.Upkeep: Easy to clean with soap & a sponge; I don't use a dishwasher but this tool could easily withstand machine washing.I'm so satisfied with this product that I let my friend keep my old Swing-A-Way that I loaned her! I'm confident that the EZ-DUZ-IT will last me for years to come.Note: If like me you'd never heard of this family-owned company, it seems the majority of their manufacturing is for the manufacturing industry. They've been in business since 1944. You can learn more about the company at their site: steuby dotcom/CORP INFO 8-18-17.htm

I was so tired of trying different can openers of many makers and prices. They were all just junk. This is a great can opener! It is like going back and finding your mom's. It has classic design, careful workmanship and a solid feel and fits easily in the gadget drawer. It works splendidly. (Also love that it is made in the USA— can you please make more items?)

Seriously this can opener has been around for over 100yrs. It is solid, it will open any cans, it is rugged and a survival pack must have. Also a use everyday or as a backup if the electrics fail. Though this is way better then the electric openers. This will outlast your lifetime! Seriously!

Strange that I find myself writing this review.Over the past few years (maybe a decade) I've been breaking can openers with astonishing regularity, resulting in me spending weeks attempting to continue using said can opener, giving up, then schlepping to the supermarket or diy shop to buy a replacement. Even electric openers would quickly break.I assumed it was me.I even researched Google to see (after all these years) if I was using them correctly.In that same search I saw a recommendation for this opener. It's from the USA. It is OUTSTANDING. Robust, straightforward design. Does the job quickly and easily every time.

This is the best can opener... wasted so much money over the last 10-15 years on plastic fancy rubbish, wish I never went for the modern stylish kitchen stuff.

Forget any other can opener! Seriously who knew finding one that would simply open cans with little to no effort was such a rarity now adays, but it is. This was a lot more than I wanted to spend considering you can pick up a can opener at the local dollar store. But they never quite did the job. This thing is slick, well made, and does the job with ease. It will last forever and is the best money I have spent in my kitchen this year.

Brilliant! cuts the lid effortlessly, worth every penny and should last for years. Have wasted money in the past on so many cheap can openers, wished I found this one sooner, easy on fingers if struggle with stiffness.
