I've owned the one in OP in the past and currently have the one you linked to in your post. BOTH of these can openers cut the top of the can off instead of "just the lid" if that makes sense.DaSnipe wrote: ↑ https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/star ... c=true#spc
I have this one, any real diff, mine doesn't leave sharp edges either, but I guess it's plastic?

For me personally, the one you have is good enough. When both are not on sale and full price, I'm cheap so I just chose the one you have. But if you don't mind the price difference (and if it's like right now and it's only an extra $2 or so), then the Securimax is easier. I'd get one if I didn't already have mine.
EDIT: Just realized the one you linked to is the MightiCan....I actually have a slightly smaller version of that instead of the exact one you have, same thing functionally though.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Now I know what are the differences between the two. I own the two arms one, and I think I can save my money for upgrading.Canada_7 wrote: ↑ I've owned the one in OP in the past and currently have the one you linked to in your post.

The one in OP is "one piece" and you don't really need to close two arms to "attach" it to the can. You just kinda put the arm perpendicularly to the can and start turning, it basically attaches itself. The little pincer grip thing, that is for grabbing onto and pulling the lid out after you've opened up the can. The black small tab on the left is meant for controlling that pincer grip thing. The pincer grip thing can be useful here and there but when I had one I never used it much to be honest.
personally i dont like this. Do they have one that cuts the lid only?I might have the smaller one but I think they're the same, thanks for the awesome post!

My current one (same as yours) uses two arms to attach itself by putting it up to the can and then squeezing the two arms together.

This comment sold me.joe2k1 wrote: ↑ I was able to get some family friends buy this way back when. I recently found out they didn't know how to use it, initially. I was practically worshipped when they learned how to use it. Plenty of YouTube’s on how to use it. If you do use it properly you won’t want to use anything else.
