Being a senior manual can openers can be tricky, hard to use and un-reliable. This baby is the Mack Daddy of openers. Very easy to use and no hand strain. Makes opening can a real pleasure and easy for a senior like me. Thank you.

One of the greatest threats we as consumers face today is what I call the Chinese "looks-like." "It looks like a cheese-cutter." "It looks like a can-opener." "It looks like lead-free paint." "It looks like a children's toy." It looks safe.

But often these things are not what they appear to be, and not even safe. How many times in the past year did you buy something that looked like a working product only to find out after you had it at home for an hour that it didn't work?

I recently bought a can opener at WallyWorld that looks very similar to this one. It even cost almost the same amount. But when I got it home, it wouldn't open a can reliably. Even when -- due to my extreme patience and mechanical aptitude -- I did get it to open a can, it got bits of paper it ripped from the top edge of the label in the soup. I had to re-attach that looks-like can opener to the can over and over again just to get the can to go around in a circle ONCE. And when it would no longer cut any of the metal lid from the can, the lid was still attached so I could cut myself trying to wriggle it up from the can to get the soup out.

This happens over-and-over again. I believe it is because the manufacturer is engaged in waging war against American consumers one bloody finger at a time! On the other hand, THIS manual can opener has a weighty "expensive" feel to it, and it works perfectly. For the same price!!! Take that, you yeller commies!

We needed a new can opener after the one we had just wouldn’t work anymore. I found this one and I loved all the color options it came in! I love the teal color we got, it is so bright and pretty! The can opener works so smoothly too! It has a sharp blade and opens cans with ease.

Love this can opener. It is quick and easy to use even with my arthritic hands. I love the color too! It seems durable but I don't imagine it will last as long as the old red handled type of opener. I like it for its price point but when I need to buy a new one I will most likely go with the heavy duty old fashioned ones. Not that this one isn't good, it is but just won't last forever like the old ones. But then what does last like things used to. Love it but four stars as longevity is uncertain. Still it's a good opener and I would recommend it especially over some of the other models out there.

Got this to replace a new but crummy KitchenAid one that I got from target that didn’t work at all. This one was cheaper and works so smoothly, hoping it stays sharp and easy to use.

This is the best can opener I have ever had. Works smoothly and easy to turn the handle.

easy to use and opens cans easily

I was in desperate need of a can opener. The one I had failed to actually cut and open the can. It was hard to grip and turn. I ordered the gorilla can opener and it was the best thing I did that day! This opener is GREAT. Light enough to handle comfortably but not made cheaply. Cut through the can like butter. I definitely recommend!

I had been struggling with my 16 year old hand held can opener. I enjoy cooking. Everything from nachos to four course meals.
I did not want an electric opener. I am a senior and truthfully, getting concerned opening cans. I can be stubborn. Yikes. The price was perfect and there was an incredible selection of colors to choose from. I went for black! Just for fun look at the mint green opener. Wow. The opener came and it is incredible. Don't hesitate get yourself a new can opener you deserve it! The opener is light, fits nicely in the hand. With just a tiny bit of pressure the opener punctures and cuts immediately and the rolling mechanism moves with little or no effort. The opener works as smooth as silk.
I spotted the Gorilla brand easy open hand held can opener because of the price and availability. I am so happy with my purchase.

I never had a manual can opener that worked this well. It is easy to pierce the can and it goes around the circle without any stops. It is easy to remove it and easy to clean.

Gather 'round, dear friends, for I have a tale of woe and betrayal, a story so tragic it would make even the most hardened of hearts weep. It all began with the **Gorilla Grip Heavy Duty Handheld Manual Can Opener**, a device promising the brute strength of a gorilla and the precision of a Swiss watch. Little did I know, I was about to be bamboozled by this tin-can tormentor.

**Day 1:** The Gorilla Grip entered my kitchen like a hero in a cape. It boasted a sturdy design and a grip so mighty, it could supposedly open cans with the mere flex of a finger. I believed I had found the Excalibur of can openers.

**Day 2 to 4:** I was on a can-opening spree. Beans, soup, tomatoes—you name it, I opened it. The Gorilla Grip was performing like an Olympic champion, and I was beginning to think we might have a lifelong partnership.

**Day 5:** The honeymoon phase ended abruptly. The once-powerful grip began to slip, like a gorilla trying to peel a banana with buttered fingers. It managed to open a can of peas but left jagged edges that could have been used as medieval torture devices.

**Day 10:** The Gorilla Grip started showing signs of severe exhaustion. It whimpered at the sight of a can of chunky chicken soup. The handle, once firm and reliable, now wobbled like a newborn giraffe. My dreams of culinary efficiency were rapidly fading.

**Month 2:** I should have taken it as a sign when the Gorilla Grip refused to open a can of pineapple. It groaned and strained, then made a sound reminiscent of a dying walrus. The handle snapped off entirely, transforming my mighty can opener into a pathetic, impotent piece of scrap metal.

**Month 4:** In a desperate attempt to resurrect my fallen hero, I tried every trick in the book: oiling the gears, whispering sweet nothings, and even a small prayer to the kitchen gods. But the Gorilla Grip was beyond salvation. It had become a paperweight of epic disappointment, mocking me from its place in the drawer.

In conclusion, the **Gorilla Grip Heavy Duty Handheld Manual Can Opener** is the Shakespearean tragedy of kitchen tools. It promised the strength of a thousand gorillas but delivered the fragility of a soap bubble. If you're looking for a can opener that will shatter your dreams and leave you with jagged edges—both literal and metaphorical—look no further. Otherwise, spare yourself the heartbreak and seek your can-opening solace elsewhere.

Farewell, Gorilla Grip. You were the king of broken promises.
