Best tin opener

tamarto

I use an asda smartprice tin opener, for the price it works well and when it no longer does (after about a year) i just buy a new one i don't even think it costs a pound.

The best one I've used is the culinare magican; it works everytime.

I've bought the cheaper ones before but they never last. I've had this one for ages. It is a bit dearer, though.

another vote for a brabantia one - has never failed me in 15 years! I never got to grips with the butterfly style

My favourite tin opener is our electric one - it was £5 in a supermarket, and I expected it to be rubbish, as I have paid more for rubbish non-electric ones - but it has great and has outlasted hand held ones by miles. It even has knife grinders at the back as well!

I think it is by Haden.

I would never go back to hand held ones while this one continues to work this well - wish I'd done it years ago, but I'd a;ways dismissed electric tin openers as being for oldies...

Another vote for the one handed one (from Lakeland I think)
I simply can't manage the more basic ones when my wrists are bad, whereas I've always been OK with this one.

I just went to have a look what make mine is - I've had it for donkey's years and I wouldn't be without it, it works every time and is light in use. (I take a thumb-wrecking butterfly one when we go camping because I am so afraid to lose the good one). And would you believe? It says Magican!

Thanks for all the replies, going shopping tomorrow, may take a tin of cheap tomatoes with me to try out the tin openers!!!!!!!!:D

I've had a Magican for over 16 yrs and it's still going strong
