I think Hawaii just has the best environment for making can opener blades rust ... once that happens you gotta FORCE the thing to open the can and when you put too much force on the crank, the bearings start to fail and freeze up. So it's no doubt the cheap ones from wallmart and target quickly fail. I'm still limping along with the first one I bought from a garage sale. It was on it's way out when we got for a buck. Tho.... I think I am gonna invest in a quality side (seam spliter) type. Thanks for your suggestion Lin.
