You're probably saying "WTF" but, I needed a place to bitch and rant!
Why is it impossible to find a decent can opener anymore?
Seems like every one that I've bought in the last 10yrs has been a total pos!
They might work for a week or two then, they no longer cut through the lid or hold on to the can rim, doesn't matter how much (or little) I've spent on them, they all end up useless.
I even bought one of those electric ones that uncrimps and removes the lid without leaving a sharp edge.....worked great for a couple of months, now I need needle nose pliers to peel the lid off the rest of the way!
I now find myself using a GI P38 to open cans, what the hell!
Is it the quality of can openers in general (nothing is made in the USA anymore) or the quality of the actual cans?
Rant off.
Thoughts?
