Title: Locking Can Opener
Review: I had purchased the same opener several years ago at a department store. I loved the locking mechanism. The opener was solid and held up great. Unfortunately, the handle snapped off in the middle of a chili batch during the opening of many cans of beans and tomatoes. I couldn't find one like it anywhere so I ordered it from Amazon since the shipping was free. I am extremely unimpressed with the quality of the new one. It is lighter in contruction and I can see why the chief complaint is the locking mechanism breaking. It's going to occur sooner than later. I wish I could remove the opener and put it on my old opener handle. Two stars for this looser.Update 10/5/11: Been using this opener for nearly a year now. Have to say, it's held up and I've gotten use to the ligher weight construction. I would 3 star this item if I had it to do over.
