EZ-DUZ-ITCan Opener -Open your cans effortlessly with the EZ-DUZ-IT can opener that is proudly 100% made entirely in the USA by the John J. Steuby Company of Hazelwood, Missouri. The Ez-Duz-It can opener is famous for its smooth, easy gear driven operation. It's an inexpensive, no-frills opener that securely latches onto cans and cuts through their lids with ease. And since it’s so durable, we’re confident it will last you for years to come.Here’s the background story: The best can opener in the world, the Swing-A-Way entered the marketplace in 1954. Some of these openers are still working after more than 50 years Unfortunately, Swing-A-Way Company sold out to China in 2008. Usually that's where the story ends and the only way you can find the genuine article is to find an old one somewhere. But in this case, something interesting happened in 2011. It turns out that the John J. Steuby Co. out of Hazelwood, Missouri was the actual manufacturer of Swing-A-Way can openers for Amco, for nearly 50 years. So, they decided to just start making them again, and instead of stamping Swing-A-Way on them, they are stamping their own brand EZ-DUZ-IT. So, ironically, if you buy a new can opener marked Swing-A-Way you get an official Chinese knockoff, and if you buy one marked EZ-DUZ-IT you get the unofficial real thing and the best in the world.Made from chrome plated carbon steel the EZ-DUZ-IT can opener features skip proof feed wheels that are gear driven. The cutter, gears and wheel were all heat treated and zinc plated. The handle grips are double-dipped grips for comfortable secure handling.
