explosive opener.

the positive bits. It opens tins. It is big enough to handle easily.

negative bits. I tried to use it both ways round. When I turned the handle the most obvious way the whole opener sprang apart sending cogs and washers everywhere.
For most people that would be it but as I am a retired engineer I was able to work out how to put it back together. If I turn it the wrong way it will explode again and I may not find all the bits.
The problem is that there is nothing locking the nut holding the drive cogs together. It need Screwlock on it or the end of the bolt thread peening over with a punch.
It is simply an unfinished item and as such should be withdrawn from sale.
Sorry but you asked for a review.

note to self - read other reviews before buying

waitrose they said... quality they said....
as someone mentioned earlier - it was exactly 3rd can when it stoped co-operating
everything is working but cogs teeth are to far apart and blade cannot spin
waste of money is a huge understatement
avoid at all cost

A total waste of money!

Despite the encouraging Waitrose branding, this probably the worst can opener I have ever used. Totally ineffective at opening cans = a total waste of money!
