  1. I have one of those lever can openers. It always pops up when there's not a can needing to be opened and then disappears again as soon as the need arises.

  2. I just bought one of these. They are at a reasonable price compared to when they first came out. I still haven't used it yet.

  3. Just came back to say it works great. I use it even on cans that have the pull tabs. I have met one kind of can it won't open (metal too thick or possibly thin or something). My wife won't use it though.

  4. Technically it does still make a hole in the lid. Just a bit bigger.

  5.  @dragonsword7370  Well, that is the situation but it's more that I just never put it where it's convenient. Though thinking about it, I think it's currently in my camping gear.

  6. You can still use these lids to drain, you just have to tilt them a bit in the opening. The nice thing is that leaving the lid flap on the can has been frowned upon in some segments as animals can get trapped. Yet fully opening the can means the lid drops into the food. With these new ones, that's all solved. What you can't do, as someone else mentioned, is use the lid to squeeze the contents to help get any liquids out.
