I always end up with two spots on opposite sides of the can that don't get cut through. well, except when I end up with 3 spots. and then I take a butter knife and bash the top of the can until one of the sides gives, which results in splashing my face, shirt, and the sink and counter with the contents of the can. my mom has one of those, but it actually stops after making 1.5 circuits around the can. she only has the use of one hand, so it is sort of necessary for her. but I’ve been coveting one because apparently I’m not coordinated enough to use a manual can opener.
