Guess which can opener still works? L to R- 30 + years old, 3 years old, 6 months old … planned obsolescence or crappy design (of course they increase in price tag from L-R)rpmerf t1_j02gkng wrote

I've had a P51 for years. Still looks brand new. Still works like new. Indestructible. Tiny compared to any other can opener.

They do indeed. It takes more work and time to open a can with them, of course. Gives the thumb a workout. They still make both those and the P38. You can get them in stainless steel now, too. They take up absolutely no space. They weigh virtually nothing. They cost virtually nothing. I always keep one tucked into my wallet just in case. One never knows when they will have to open a can.

My P-38 (and another 'souvenir') came back from RVN with me in 1969, and is still used regularly.

Oh nice. Does it say “J. W. Speaker“ on it? I believe that’s the company that originally developed the design. (They don’t make Speakers, “Speaker” is like, the last name of the guy who founded it.). I‘ve got a Vietnam-era one too.
