Not What it appears
I have owned Swing Away can openers for over 45 years and each one of then worked flawlessly, and lasted for years. Recently I ordered a new Swing Line opener to replace my rusted worn out Swing opener which lasted at least 15 years. The one I ordered from amazon was a terrible opener, which would not completely cut around the can. Half way around the can it would leave gaps of uncut metal in several places. This made it very hard to open the can. I had to twist the lid back and forth in order to break the little area on uncut metal. Thinking it was a just a defective opener I returned it to Amazon for a replacement. When the replacement came same exact problem existed. These can openers appear to be another Chinese cheaply manufactured product of inferior product quality. Also the size of the large or small did not matter. I suggest you try a different brand.
