This Kuhn Slim Safety Lid Can Opener removes lids easily and safely and leaves a smooth edge that can be re-sealed with a plastic lid. It can open the most stubborn can and is called "touchless" because your hands need never touch the lid on the can you are opening. The cutting wheel never touches the food inside and the lid will not drop into the can once it has been cut. Easy! Jeanette, our Banstead customer has put her comments on this product:"I was fed up with the various can openers I have used since childhood. My hands are small and not very strong so I struggle. And i was not prepared to go for the electronic ones - I saw my mother in law constantly struggling go get hers to work! So I asked the friendly staff at AOL for advice and I bought he Kuhn Rikon. They did warn me that it can be a bit tricky at the start. Wow - what a great product! No muscles needed, not at all difficult to use, and no sharp edges once opened! My friends now all get one on their birthdays:-) "
