It has some advantages over traditional can openers:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>You don\u2019t have to squeeze it to puncture the lid.<\/li>\r\n  <li>The resulting removed lid doesn\u2019t have sharp edges.<\/li>\r\n  <li>The removed lid can be placed loosely back on top of the can and can thus continue to act as a lid. (Though it looks enough like a sealed can that you have to be careful to remember that it\u2019s no longer attached.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>The can opener blade doesn\u2019t enter the inside of the can, so it doesn\u2019t get any of the contents of the can on it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>I had seen these can openers, and their results, before, but I was always skeptical about them. But my skepticism was for no good reason; I think I was having a sort of \u201cif this is so great, then why doesn\u2019t everyone use it?\u201d kind of reaction. But having now used it myself, I kinda do think it\u2019s just better than a traditional can opener. I haven\u2019t used it enough to be sure, but I don\u2019t think there any scenarios in which I would prefer a traditional can opener.<\/p>\r\n<p>I usually prefer not to link to Amazon, but I\u2019m not finding a better place to link for this item, so here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bartelli-Ambidextrous-Safety-Opener-Bottle\/dp\/B012YHV6MC\">Bartelli can opener on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gadgets"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20904"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20905,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20904\/revisions\/20905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
