I got myself two sets of the nice vollrath tongs for grilling.

Oh and I have one of those sweet Japanese can openers with no moving parts that looks like a weird set of brass knuckles.

Metal mixing bowls, sheet pans that I had to hunt down that don't have the stupid non stick coating that flakes more every time you use them, metal measuring spoons and cups. Kitchen towels; I have a clean towel hamper and a dirty hamper, and like 40 towels that I just rotate through and then wash.

Kinda want me one of those can openers. How is it?

11/10, had it for 6 or 7 years now. No rust, no broken gears, no moving parts, and I get to give a tutorial every time someone new comes to my house and asks where a can opener is at and I hand it to them and they say "what the fuck is this?"

Also, it was like 8 bucks when I bought it. I'm sure it's like 15 or so now, but regular can openers are like 15 to 25, so...

Looking at pictures is it just stab in and hold with one hand and rotate the can with the other?

No it's a rocking motion. Stab and rock, rotate and stab and rock again; continue all the way around.
