The orange-red handle one dates to...don't know, probably 1960s or 1970s. It was a discard when a former employer closed, it probably was bought by the owner while in college. The black handle one I purchased new in 1996.
Thanks! I have the newer model which you say are shit, but they look identical.
The non-US ones aren't bad....they just aren't the same.
Na nigga i got you, this mofo uses no blades, just pressure on the seams. It creates open cans you can pop the tops back on and hide shit in. It works on the bottom of shaving cream cans as well. I know a thing or jew about a thing or jew. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CJQ73W/
Mine has been going strong for 30 years. I'll keep it.
nah i'm just saying that can openers good for making hideaways. I've used it on the bottom of empty butane cans as well. those are good b/c they already feel like they weigh nothing full. If you just wanna open a can that's cool. I'd just stab a k-bar in the top twice and bend the tabs on the can
Ah, I see. That would be an interesting use for one of those.
My parents would open the can of pet milk they used as coffee creamer with a knife. It used to annoy me as a little kid...we didn't even have a can opener at times...
Pet milk is disgusting btw.
holy shit i just realized that nigger is 60 bucks atm. I paid 15 lol edit: even then i felt like i was splurging on a novelty lol.
Probably find plenty of them at the local thrift/goodwill store.
I've had mine about 30 years, too. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
The best thing about these particular can openers is they don't require electricity: no nasty lithium, no WiFi, bluetooth or smart anything.
Nope, just turn and enjoy.
There is still the EZDUZIT made in the USA: https://madeinamericastore.com/ez-duz-it-can-opener-red-handle/
Nice. May pick up a few.
This thing has been around our house since probably the 90's or before as well. Still used and still reliable.
Uh, I use one...all the time...got a red handle and even got one with a White handle...from like the '70's I'd guess.
