    There was one of those here when I moved in .... tried it 1001 ways, couldn't work out how to make it work. Even tried searching online for videos, but no joy.

    If you still have it, put it flat on the top of a tin. It cuts the whole of the top off, including the raised edge. Old type metal tin openers you use side on, & cut the top off inside that raised edge. HTH :D

    I have a cheap one from Tesco or Asda maybe 10 years old still going strong. My Grandma had one of the really old fashioned one's that no-one else could use, she had it for about 70 years and in spite of arthritic hands she could still open a tin with it aged 89.

    I guess the cheap and simple ones are the best in my opinion.
