Edlund SG-2C Manual Can Opener with 16" Adjustable Bar and Stainless Steel Clamp Base

Both heavy- and standard-duty can openers can open the same types of cans and operate in a similar manner. A standard-duty can opener is a bit smaller, with a shorter handle that may require more turns to open the same can. A heavy-duty can opener is larger and features a more heavy-duty construction. As a result, it's capable of opening more cans per day. If you'd like more information about how to choose the right one for your needs, check out our can opener buying guide!
